These fighters came into their own later in their careers and seemed to get better with age, but who would you give the edge too.

Winky looks like he is not ready to slow down. He has been on a tear since the Vargas loss (many thought he won) he is one of the sports best.

Lennox dominated the HW division into his mid thirties after the loss he suffered too Olive McCall. He avenged his loss to Rahman in dominating fashion

At the age of 36 he defeated the mighty Felix Trinidad and never looked back. At 41 he is still at the top of his game when it comes to skill. The current 175 champ is like wine, better with age.
Have to go with bernard. nothin like old school. my fav fight is hopkins - trinidad. was huge hype surrounding trinidad. and rightfully so. hopkins pulled him apart bit by bit. hopkins in his latter years beat a fair few future hall of famers.

All he did was beat 1 great fighter.

When I look at his career the only thing I see there is RJJ and thats it nothing else.....
From the 1st you listed I voted B-Hop....
Very true, but he still was a champ in his mid thirties which would qualify him as a late bloomer but in no stretch of the imigination was he great.Quote:
