Roger became a pirate in his early 20s and when GV incident happened, he was 39.. that’s almost 20 full years of being a pirate,
Look what the Strawhats were able to achieve in only 3 years (the time it has been in One Piece world since chapter 1)
I would say the physical abilities of Roger and WB was starting to decline after age 40..a year after GV
Roger wasn’t necessarily strongest (from a physical perspective) when he became the PK
