Well, you are obviously wrong. "Every single one", huh? Well, let me just blow that garbage statement into the water... Here goes: Archie Moore fought on well after this fight for another 8 years, and compiled like a 35-3-2 record after losing to the Rock, with many of those fights at the championship level. Not so bad for a guy near the end, huh? Also, Lastarza had a record of 53-3 when he fought Rocky, and was like 26 years old at the time. Doesn't sound like he was near the end either. I could go on, but I think we all know at this point that your statement is completely untrue. You guys just make shit up as you go along. You should be writing a fuckin' fiction novel instead of posting here.
