    Thats because you don't have any weight stipulations so you don't have to drain yourself at 40 like you might at 20 at the heavy level.
    Heavyweights are better anyway because most of the time you are gonna be at some disadvantage physically unlike the lower weights.

    Lower weight guys have to cope with the ridiculous speed and workrate of some opponents.

    Foreman won a title in his 40s, in one of the best eras for heavyweights too.

    Vitali at age 46 is still in the gym, still spars, would knock Wilder out without a tuneup fight. Vlad still has skills.......................and he is 42................

    Nonetheless, the age at which he did still makes it a notable feat.

    Luis Ortiz was pretty good in his 40s - about five years ago.
