'They" love to tell us that, dont they? And try to discredit Rocky.
Louis was 36. Hardly over the hill. Louis' average opponent age was 1 year younger than Rocky. And similar to Alis..
Rocky fought Louis (215) at 184#. Louis on a 3 fight Win streak. Retired, knocked OUT of the ring.
All discussion of a younger challenger is horse crap. Younger just means inexperienced, and he hasn't accomplished anything and never will..
Never, ever, take lightly an older, mature, experienced fighter.
