    Probably all them under the age of 60. I've been in one fight, and that was in fifth grade. But the first name that came to mind was George Foreman. But, didn't Jack Dempsey knock out a would be robber when he was in his 70's? So, maybe I'll change my answer to all of them under 80, lol.

    :lol:

    Well, I have some experience boxing myself. I'm not good enough to compete with most any good pro boxer in their prime, but that's not what I'm asking.

    I guess the real question I have is "Boxers that look like they could still get back in the ring, even though they are retired".

    I agree with anyone who said most of them.... and Floyd Mayweather Sr. is indeed a freak of nature...

    Unless they are geriatric or horribly decrepid then I would say all of them. However the big names that I would be scared fight with are Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, George Foreman, and Marvin Hagler.

    It would not even be close. I might as well scream like a little girl and cry in the hopes that they turn around in disgust and quit the "fight".

    Pretty much all of them.

    I think we need to understand that Boxing is one of the toughest sports to make it in, and all of these guys were special. They'd **** you all up, even if they are 50.
