    An old Ray Robinson 1 punching a tough hombre in Fullmer was something. Or Archie Moore in his 40's climbing off the deck what 6x against Durelle and hanging tough til he got the late ko? I thought Maske looked good against Hill in their recent rematch, but that was not youth he was facing.

    Jofre after his comeback and 8 years since losing his bantanweight title beating ATG Vicente Saldivar knocking him out in the 4th round at the age of 37. Although Saldivar wasn't at his peak either he was a lot closer to it then Jofre and Eder was fighting at featherweight.

    Moore-Durrelle at 42, coming back from 3kds in round 1, although he wasnt too drastically over the hill despite his age

    BHOPs-Taylor/Tarver/Winky/Calazage 40-43

    Foreman-Moorer

    McCallum-RJJ/Toney (40-41)

    Holyfield-Rahman - 39 (3months off 40)

    James Toney is 40 tomorrow and just beat up Rahman, if he gets another big win it will certainly add to the legend

    Robinson in his third fight with Gene Fullmer. The bout was declared a draw and as a Fullmer fan I remember watching it and being glad that Gene didn't lose his title. But after seeing that fight on ESPN Classic not long ago, I think that Sugar Ray should have won. In their rematch 3 months later I felt that Gene won that one quite easily. That third fight however was probably Ray's last great performance.

    James Toney has a lot of these.

    Late 30's several weight divisions removed from his optimum one, still raising hell.
