I was more defending the idea of Simon being "inactive" more than anything else, Simon's career started in January 1994, Spadafora's in October 1995. For sake of comparison Mayweather was October 1998, John started June 1998, Cuenca (if you include him) was August 2002.

Mayweather has almost 10 years on Burns. Cleverly longer by couple of years also.
