He fought 3 rounds against Mitchell. He hadn't fought in over two years in practical terms, and most of his fights were against current or former world champions, even before he became a champion. A very high ratio of current or former world champions.
I wouldn't say Shot, interms that he can't fight, because he was never dominated in any fight to the point where he was totally annihilated, but he was certainly past his best, and right to be had. In other words, OVER THE HILL, an Old Man. For an Old Man, he looked ok. Since when has 4 months short of 36 been Fresh for boxing.
What because Hopkins and Mosely can stick around. Look at old man De La Hoya, who turned old before our eyes retiuring at, surprise surprise, 35. Tszyu was an old man..
