    Povetkin deserves a mention from current scene. Unquestionably elite at 35.

    You could put Ortiz in the 45 year old list as well.

    As a 33 year old, it is starting to get depressing when I hear people talk about boxers in their mid-30’s being past their prime and on a downward projection.

    As a 43 year old, it's even more depressing to remember that at 33 I felt old, just like you :hang All I want to say is ... well, it's like this you see ... wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, new batteries for the scooter!

    He's got a much better cv than Wilder. You telling me Wilder ain't elite?
