    Eder Jofre has that famous video of him destroying the bag with combos at an advanced age.

    The documentary 'Joe, Tommorrow' shows Joe Tatsuyoshi out training his pro boxer sons despite being twice their age.

    Jack "Kid" Berg skipped 20 minutes every day in his late seventies. Brian London never drank or smoked and was running at least 2 miles a day until a few weeks before his death.

    I saw a recent(ish) interview of him on YouTube that was wishing the last year and a half or so and he looked good. Interviewer even commented that he looked in shape.

    He look like he's about 250lbs in recent pics. Totally unrecognizable.

    That’s shocking considering all the haggis and deep fried mars bars they’re bound to share

    You bet. This is from 2018. You sometimes see elite athletes who reached fitness levels that we’ll never know go to pot…badly. Perhaps due in part to the trappings but also maybe also due to an accumulated aversion to any type of exercise after years of spartan training. This man used to fight at 126 lbs? He’s just 5’ 4 1/2” so hard to gage but I’d guess at least 210 lb or more probably.

    Strength is the one easy thing to keep into old age, assuming you keep up with it.

    Evander Holyfield still looks in good shape for his age. So does Sugar Ray Leonard.
