    Pacquiao and Povetkin immediately spring to mind. Juergen Braehmer is also still pretty solid at nearly 42. Anyone else?

    Povetkin? Really?

    I'm sure B-Hop could still put hands on people if he had enough time to train. His style is always going to be effective.

    Wlad. Needs to hire Freddie Roach for one last title run and break Foreman’s record. He can do it.

    I think he will do this. Corona may have messed his plans up.but I do feel his plan was to watch the Wilder, Fury,AJ smoke settle and then have a run at the last man standing.

    Man I hope! I think he can still do it. He stays in shape year round.

    Povetkins done/gone, Pac is probably done/gone and Brahmer hasn't fought since Dec 2019 at 43 years old he's still probably one of the older fighters in boxing who could probably get a high ranking without much effort. Not sure he still has what it takes to mix it with the best though.

    Last time Tua looked even remotely dangerous was 2009.

    Chris Arreola looked pretty good for a supposed "shot" 40 year old against Ruiz. That performance will surely get him another big payday soon.
