    Who are the best young (far before the usual age when a fighter enters their prime) and old (far past the usual age when a fighter leaves their prime) boxers in the world?

    ...Hopkins is clearly is No. 1 age-for-age

    ...he will be 43 by the time he fights next...

    I agree...still, Bernard is better given his age than Joe is - given his - just about...7 years is a lot...after 35...

    You need this to be year for year and P4P otherwise a load of old HW come out on top. You need the weight dimension!

    Also a year for year list favours the younger fighters. Definitely not Hopkins.

    If that is not a (heavily) padded record, that is very impressive and he should qualify for a high ranking...
