    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.

    You can't really count guys who were prolific amateurs. Lomanchenko didn't turn pro until he was 25, but winning 2 gold medals and having 400 or whatever fights is clearly a bit more impressive than the first few years and 20 odd fights of most good pros. It's especially true for Cubans, who literally couldn't turn pro until they defected, which could be very difficult and involve leaving everything to chance with no promoter, abandoning their family etc.
