Well, of course he fought some younger guys during this period too, so I figured your stats were made up and full of shit. And I was right. Taking into account Rocky's championship period, as TKD had supposedly done, he went 7-0. The average age for the opponents in those fights was 33.7. There may be a deviation of +1 year because I wasn't taking into acount the month of birth, so I'm sure maybe one or two of the fighters were a year older than I tallied. But there you have it. 34 was the average, and that's perhaps a bit past a HW fighter's prime back then, but not by much. You had it at nearly 39.... You were just shooting out fake stats to support your contention. That might work on the HW forum, but guys here will call you on miscalculations.

I'm not gonna go through and verify their ages but every single one of Marciano's championship bouts were against fighters who were at or near the end of their careers.
