    Kostya Tszyu age 43
    Lennox Lewis age 47
    Felix Trinidad age 39
    Joe Calzaghe age 40
    Mike Tyson age 46

    ....if not than which fighters do you think could. I personally think Lewis and Calzaghe could still have success based on the state of the divisions they fought at. I also think Trinidad could have success at 154 with it's current state.

    Kostya Tszyu age 43 > Maybe a bit
    Lennox Lewis age 47 > Nope, probably not even when he stayed in shape.
    Felix Trinidad age 39 > Yes
    Joe Calzaghe age 40 > Yes
    Mike Tyson age 46 > No way in hell. Have you seen his last fights many years ago?!

    Yea I'm reaching with Tyson, but you can probably tell I don't think much of the state of the Heavyweight division, no disrespect to Wladimir. I also think Kostya could have good success at 140 if he could get back down to that weight, eventhough that division is fairly talented.

    Calzaghe is the only one that stands a chance. He'd beat a few decent fighters but loses to Ward, Bute and Froch.
