    I presume it would be too easy to be archie moore who boxed every year from 35 -63. Its a good marker though

    Yes, you're right, that would be too easy - it's before Archie.

    Active every year from 1902-1926, Langford just makes the 25-year cut...
    but we're looking for someone even further back.

    Maher fought every year from 1887-1911, so he too just makes the cut...
    and unless I have overlooked someone, I believe he was the first:good

    Dobbs had a long career, from 1888 to 1914... but he missed 1907, where he wasn't active. At least no fights have been recorded for him that year - but even if he had been active in 07, Maher would have been the first to make it 25 years in a row.
