    Aside from Gerry Peñalosa who is 35 years old now but still with good performance, name other boxers who are 35 years old and above with good performance...

    Bernard Hopkins vs. Antonio Tarver, Felix Trinidad, Winky Wright
    Shane Mosley vs. Luis Collazo

    In the past, you have Archie Moore and George Foreman.

    the thing with gerry is that he took care of his body. he was never decked or ko'd ever. this just shows that great defense helps a fighter's longetivity. pac won't be winning a world title at 35, trust me. i'm just so happy for gerry right now

    Archie Moore was first to come to mind when I saw this thread.

    My sentimental favorite old man was Emile Griffith, who, between ages 30-39, was willing to campaign at welter, light middle and middleweight in pursuit of yet another title. And he never ducked anyone or went after easy pickings - he took on the toughest time after time.
