    im saying +40 years old

    the guy is a marvel. totally amazing athlete. i cant begin to understand how someone can be top of their game as a pro boxer for 20 years or so. in anything that takes ridiculous discipline, and its even more amazing considering its the hurting game.

    Off the top of my head I would say BHop or Archie Moore.

    Suger Ray Robinson ?

    I think B Hop is the best 40+ sportsman in the world today, alongside Vijay Singh and Paolo Maldini.

    Probably Moore. Not sure exactly what his true birthdate was though, 1913 or 1916.

    Hopkins is certainly up there though.

    It's hard to ignore George Foreman when he won the heavyweight championship at 45 years old.
