Anyone watching this on HBO? They showed the oldest champions in sports history comparing Hopkins achievement to a golf pro, tennis player and horse jockey. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Hopkins is a BOXER! This achievement DESTROYS those other ones!

No, I think a physical sport like tennis is quite comparable. But yeah walking aorund with a stick and sitting on a horse? They are silly comparisons.

Navritalova won her world titles late in her career in mixed doubles. I don't know if you follow tennis or not but she was always carried by her partner.No, I think a physical sport like tennis is quite comparable.

What I am saying is that if a tennis player can keep going a long time then it is more similar to boxing than golf or being a jockey because it is a very physical sport. Anybody can ride a horse when they are 45.Navritalova won her world titles late in her career in mixed doubles.

I agree that you basically never see a top 10 tennis player in their 40's, but in boxing it does happen. I guess it's because you pick up smarts and a fight is only 12 rounds. You can buy time in clinches and have a walk about and what have you. 36 minutes probably isn't that long when you are only really working for half that time. In tennis you have to play every point till its end and five setters take their toll. Plus you play week in week out. Boxers tend to recharge and only fight when they want to.
