    He is FREAKING 38 years old. That is what happens to people. Specially boxers whose styles are based on their athleticism(Jones, Ali) as opposed to fighters whose styles are based on skill(Hopkins, Holmes).

    He got old. Simple. No need for further discussion.

    The reflexes and speed are the first to go on fighters as they age. Those were what made Roy Roy... When those faded he bacame ordinary... and vulnerable.
