I was never a champion like my dad, but think of this...From the time my dad fought his first bout, until the date I fought
my LAST bout, there was FORTY NINE years seperating his 1st bout with MY last bout...I am ?

Some sources have Bob Fitzsimmons starting his pro career in 1882 and his son Young Bob Fitzsimmons fought his last in 1931, that 49 years!
