    Bernard Hopkins would for sure be the favourite to do this. He's already done it at the age of 48/49.

    Vacant Diamond Emeritus Regular world title? Probably a couple out there.

    Beating a current titlist... I would imagine none.

    Lennox as a possibility? Way more experienced than most of the top guys on the scene today. He still looks physically imposing. Also, besides Joshua, who has his combined amateur and pro background? I might load him up with GH and Test to turn back the odometer a bit though. :camper::flamethrower2::pontiac:
