Best resumes at 40 Plus - No results prior to 40

The difference with most of those is that they were also good in their 20s. :yep

 

Horace Notice had '0', your point? :huh

 

Let's talk about Ali after 36 while we're at it, he was shite. :good

 

In terms of a single performance, probably Hopkins. I let my eyes do the talking when it comes to his speed. Hagler's handspeed against Leonard was pale in comparison to Hopkins' and he was only 32 years old at the time. And Hagler was at his prime weight, Hopkins was two weights above his best division. Watch Hopkins' handspeed during the 2nd and 12th rounds in combinations, 3's and 4's, and you'll see it's a lot closer to Leonard's than Hagler's when they fought 21 years ago.


However, Hopkins isn't beating a prime Archie Moore or Bob Foster at the light-heavyweight. Some of the praise being thrown in Hopkins' direction this week has been laughable. I'll freely admit that I'm a fan, but I'd like to think I'm fair and balanced with my views. Give praise where it's due.

 

Also, Hopkins achieved what in his 20s despite two losses?

 

I fully agree. That hype is actually hurting Hopkins more than it helps him.

 

He won the IBF title and became the best mw? Not the man though.

 

It's laughable- and embarrassing. Moore had about 160 fights under his belt by the time he was 40.

 

I thought he was 30 when he became champ, I must be out by a few months then.

 

I finally tracked down a small report from his debut the other day it said he lost because the other fighter was "busier". Seems it took him until his 30s to learn. :yep

 

it all depends when u think moores birthday is. if you think his birthday is 1913........then you have to add wins over bobo olsen, harold johnson, clarence henry, nino valdez, Eddie Cotton, bob baker.......and this makes it a better resume than hopkins



if u think his birthday is 1916.......then his best wins are Eddie Cotton(how could u forget this one?),Lavorante, Pastrano(draw), Rinaldi, Pompey, Durelle
