I agree its part marketing and part covering his a**...The human body wasnt created to sustain such punishment over a long period of time, but it all catches up with them just like any athlete has there ailments, We look at him like he is the golden boy most of the boxing public view him as a good looking charismatic well spoken man...that may be all true on the outside but on the inside he has been in the ring with some of the best and has been in some wars and taken his fair share of hits....So his body will see some were in tear.

Is it Fair to say a boxers years in the ring can be measured in DOG years as each year go's by.. and just like any dog, some take to age differently some get old faster and some of them turn the corner for the bad seemingly overnite, depending on the breed..
