A freak of nature? I totally agree! He was fighting,winning or at least giving his opponents a difficult time in his 40's!!! Not just ordinary opponents mind you (Briggs, Holyfield, Morrison).

At the same time he was building his business empire.

And look at him now. He speaks with a clear mind. That could be a testament to his defense. With over 70 fights he probably got rocked a couple of times only.

He would have bullied Vlad in his prime and would have given Vlad a difficult time in his 40s.
