So what fighters over 33 do we know are still performing well or performed well?
The first one that comes to mind who is still fighting fine is Bernard Hopkins. The other one I can think of who fought alright after 33 was George Foreman.
Who else fought quite well after 33 or who is still doing a good job after 33 at present time?
Hopkins
winky was doing awsome after 33, lennox lewis done well, calzaghe whooped the number 1 SMw when he was past 33
quit a lot of fighters really.
toney did good after 33 in the cruiser and heavyweight division considering he was a middleweight, and the ease he did it with. not running like hopkins (eastman and trinidad)
calzaghe at 34 isnt slowing down either. i dont know what foremans on, the guy was gonna make a comeback in 2005!!! until his wife stopped him. i recently saw an interview of his and he's hardly changed, looks jus the same. im not accusing him to be on drugs but he looks really healthy.
antonio tarver was (still might be) pretty good after 33
uses his grill alot don't he?Quote:

I believe Shane Mosley is 35 and we'll know more about what he has left Nov. 10th. He's one of the top WW so I consider this as doing good past 33.
Yeah, he's definitely gotten better with age.Quote:

Vernon Forrest, Ike Quartey, ODLH(still could be most of the guys out there), Mosley, Hopkins, Calzaghe.

Ezzard Charles
Joe Walcott
Archie Moore
Those guys did well in their old age.
Larry Holmes gave prime Holyfield all he could handle gave Ray Mercer boxing Lesson and imo should of won world title at 45 same age Foreman did but he didn't get the decision against McCall.
most the heavies today are over 33 (not saying they're great but the perform at the same level), Tzyu performed great past 33, um Castillo did a hell of a job, and well 33 isn't that old in boxing anymore actually
They're my choice as well. Archie Moore was cunning, he used psychology to beat younger skilled opponents. You outta read about what he did to Willie Pastrano. ;DQuote:

I think that holyfield,Louis,Holmes,Forman,Bernard,Robinson,Ali those are the ones that come to my mind
Holyfield hasn't done much since losing to Lewis...he got schooled by Chris Byrd and TKO'd by James Toney......and split 3 fights with John Ruiz!!!!
If Holyfield truly is Wladimir's next opponent it'll be the end of Holyfield's career pretty damned quick

Evander can KO the savarese's but any of the TOP 10 Heavyweight will beat him up. Wladimir will KILL him.
