Stress of being the best, takes its toll unfortunately

I don't really know what your wife meant, but if mine compared me with grandpa Conor it would make me feel bad. My gf compares me with Darren Elkins btw

He lookes 12 years older since he hasn't fought. That's 94 dog years and 4 whale years.

Thanks for the daily lesson, never knew whale years before now. In all seriousness tho it's gotta be the drink and the drugs, the stress of numerous court cases would also take its toll I'd imagine.

I think its the Devils Dandruff, the whisky, the parties and the cheap flussies, they defenitly took their toll on me and im not famous or rich. Add those 2 things to the equation and u age 5 yrs for every birthday.

speed goes first. you can't stick around as long at the lower weights. over time it'll be the same trend at FLW or BW.

Speed and reaction time.
Young Aldo's head movement was on point.
