Boxers who have had their best period in their 30s or above

Lumumba Estaba is a favorite shout, but as I've been preempted there, I'll mention Dick Tiger and Bob Foster.

 

The instructions between rounds of the first Mcall fight were pretty bad. Correa was telling Lewis to go for the knockout in the second round against a guy who had never been off his feet let alone knocked out. Correa maybe wanted Lewis to be too offensive and his chin really didnt fit that type of style. The Ruddock win in my opinion has been vastly overated. Its always been compared to Tysons performances against Ruddock, when in reality Lewis was not even close to being a finished championship level fighter, and proof was what happened in the next few years.
I dont think Lewis took Rahman too seriously and probably Steward didnt either, they had a long string of easy success together with the same level fighter.
Lewis was fighting Rahman pretty out of character and the way I saw him spar his sparring partners in the gym. Hanging on the ropes moving side to side against the ropes. Lazy stuff. I found Lewis to be very lazy in sparring when I watched him, only seeming to turn it up in spurts. In the second fight you saw Lewis more intense keeping the fight in the center of the ring for the most part and the KO came pretty quickly.

Evander Holyfield.

Archie Moore.

 

Yeah, I'd also say Holyfield, he was in his second prime in his 30's.
Other, maybe even more evident : Archie Moore, Lewis and Vladimir.

 

Manny Pacquiao ?

 

Jim Watt

 

Surprised no-one's mentioned Vitali. All his notable wins and performances have come past 30.

 

Joey Giardello and Dick Tiger.
