    #3. Hairton Campos - 57 y.o.

    #2. Zoran Sekularac - 60 y.o.

    #1. Luis Ortiz - exact age is unknown because writing hasn't been invented yet when he was born.

    Was hoping to see Luis here, his longevity alone keeps him at top 5 ATG.

    All good and well, until Keanu Reeves decides to have a pro fight

    Luis Ortiz is clear number one.

    The only pugilist still fighting who debuted in the 100 round era

    Yup, just found one of his first fights. He was nervous about using a latin sounding name since he grew up during the Mexican-American war, :naughty2: so he thought Leon would pass him off as a negro.

    Pretty sure Luis Ortiz's grandson has to be in the mix for a top three slot

    To be honest, Hairton Campos looks like older version of Dustin Hoffmann (82 y.o.).

    So he must be in his 80s rather than late 50s

    That Zoran dude looks like he just wanders out from a coal mine for a brawl every now and then.

    Campos has a half decent recent record. Imagine making your debut and being pasted by a guy three times your age!!

    Ortiz is 40, I have on pretty good authority.

    Anyone remember that guy who got out of prison at age 52 & had one fight? I watched this fight with my pops and we had a good time.

    Definitely a record for most times a mouthpiece is knocked out, not spat out! Most impressive was the last time, he caught his own mouthpiece in mid air! They could have called child services the whoopin' that old man put on that youngin'!

    I’ll always fondly remember when Jesse Owens and Luis Ortiz successfully stuck it to Hitler at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately his record was later expunged and Herbert Runge was given the gold after Ortiz tested positive to hydrochlorothiazide.
