Sergio Martinez in his mid 30's to Jermian Taylor in his mid 30's right now.
Different fighters age differently, and it's not fair to compare fighters at ages, given they age differently.
No one cares about the clowning, so I don't even know what the point of this thread was. Joe just doesn't get any credit because Roy was like 8 years removed from his prime and around 5 years removed from being any good at all.Last edited by 4Corners; 06-23-2012, 11:58 AM.

Larry, I'm so glad you found a gif of this. I've been looking for this....
IMO, this is the greatest 3-4 seconds ever. Who in the history of boxing has ever put both hands behind their back then knocked the dude out with the next punch? Boxing is a old ass sport. Over 100 years old. Who has ever done this?
This is folk hero, greek mythology character type stuff here. If not for video of this, 200 years from now, people would've never believed that this was ever done.
It's funny because I remember seeing Mayweather trying to clown Bruseles. Even a prime Floyd couldn't toy with his opponents like Roy did. That's a fact.
Thanks for bringing this to light, Larry. Love you man.
