    Can't believe he kept getting sanctioned to fight. He used to be a Welter/Light-Middle and now hes at heavy in his mid-late forties against unbeaten youngsters.

    Guessing he has packed it in now though.

    I suppose Ayala didn't really have much choice in his gap though :bart

    They make their own rules up in that part of the world. Pat O'Grady started his own sanctioning body to give his son a world title and stripped his heavweight champion when he split up from Pats daughter!!!

    Check out this guy, Buck Smith. Started out as a light welterweight (and has a KO over Kirkland Laing) and was still fighting 20 years later while into his mid 40s as a cruiserweight.

    That was always Kirkland's problem, he never could outshine Graham.

    He even went after the 'Get blown away by one punch, after dominating the fight' award for 1990, and is a nailed on certainty to win it for the Smith fight; then Bomber goes and fights The Hawk...

    The Mason fight was an exhibition bout.;)

    Although as Apollo found out, exhibition bouts in Rocky can be deadly, especially when you are fighting a Klitschk... a Drago!

    If we count them, then I suspect maybe Jem Mace would be the answer.
