How old was Foreman when he won the title the 2nd time around, 45?

Couldn’t move much but could still hit like a freight train.

Dempsey was in his 70’s when 2 punks tried to rob him, didn’t turn out so well for the punks.

Never underestimate someone who was at that skill level.

The punch is the last thing that goes in a boxer, so Foreman and Dempsey do not surprise that they still had their punch.

Endurance, for Tyson, is the issue. He was never a good endurance boxer. If he was to win many of his fights, he had to wrap up in 6 rounds. That still likely will be how it is for him. If Paul can manage to dodge for 6 rounds, the advantage could go to him.
