Greatest Fighters over 40 years old...

[JonnyFolds]

I want to put together a list of the greatest old champs. In order, of course. We have quite a few fighters that are timeless and find new ways to win. These guys show guts and whit when they possibly didn't have the reflexes anymore.


Archie Moore
B-Hop
Big George Foreman
Holyfield
RJJ
Tommy Hearns, maybe? (he won the vacant IBO cruiserweight at 41 yrs old)

You guys got any others?

Some believe Holmes deserved the McCall decision. Personally, I thought it was close, but Oliver sneaked it by having a late rounds rally.

WOW I totaly forgot about that fight.

Carl Thompson
Dennis Andries
Matt Skelton

Were all still winning past the 40 mark.

Infact wasn't Carl Thompson 40 when he beat David Haye ?

[ICB]

JCC wasn't too bad past 40 he beat Willy Wise in the rematch, and beat good fighters like Frankie Randall, Ivan Robinson.

[DaxxKahn]

I can't include fighters Like RJJ, Holyfield etc. In truth just because they fought past 40 they pretty much were embaressments of their former selves.

When speaking of Great fighters past 40 I only think of names like Hopkins, Foreman, Moore, etc......Fighters that were among the elite regardless of age

[JonnyFolds]

I almost put JCC in there.. but Frankie randall was 43 when they fought.. Ivan Robinson was a complete bum by then, and Willy Wise? well that's the one I actually give him credit for beating past 40yrs.

What is your list, then.. top to bottom?

In no particular order

George Foreman
Bernard Hopkins
Archie Moore
Willie Pep
Larry Holmes
Bob Fitzsimmons (Though I have never seen him fight I know he was LHW champ at 40 still)

I dont know about that one ICB.Legend no doubt but Chavez was hanging on by the skin of his teeth.Names alone were Randall and Robinson then & shot to pieces, many moons past good.Fact he was rematching nice guy Wise said it really.Always burned me that it took 9,10 years to go against Randall again after the 2nd fight.

Hate to correct you but those three JCC beat in his over 40 world tour were just shot fighters by the time JCC beat them.
