    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    28 year old Ray Mercer has to be up there. Dennis Andries turned pro at 23 or 24.

    Which explains his knackered knees. Martinez was also a cyclist?

    Look on the bright side, at least it was not Floyd or Canelo otherwise we would never hear the end about how great they were/are.

    The thought of little Floyd stinking out an arena by pecking and pawing for 12 rounds at a crippled SGM, and then holding the same title that guys like Hagler, Leonard, Monzon, etc held... thank god we missed out on that!

    Rocky Marciano started late too I believe. Think he would have preferred to play baseball.
