Martinez started boxing at 20 and didn't win a title until he was 35.
15 Years of boxing experience.
Mike Tyson started boxing at 13 and won a title at 20.
7 Years of boxing experience.
People get carried away when talking about Martinez starting late, Jess Willard didn't start boxing until he was something like 27 and he beat up Jack Johnson.
