Which boxer has had the best career past prime?

Ali muscled and bodied with Foreman. He used his left arm as like a bar that shielded his body from Foreman. By putting his glove right on the back of Foremans head.

No way a young Ali could body Foreman. Just no way, he couldn't do it. Older Ali WAS bigger and stronger.

 

Pac. He was past prime after the Cotto fight in 2009. End /

 

I guess the point is that prime Ali wouldn't have to fight Foreman off the ropes.

 

Wonjongkam

^ recently retired, so if that shout counts...

 

And after that fight, other than beating Tim Bradley, he didn't do anything on par with memorable greatness.

 

Really good question (rare on here). I would say Shane. His prime ended when Vernon ran him up to JMW. He still had an excellent resume and track record after that.

I'd like to say Toney since his prime ended in 94, but he was in utter oblivion for over a decade, then came back on the radar, got some things done, then just became a spectacle.

Hard to gage when Roy's prime ended but if we consider it ending when he went to HW, then he accomplished nothing of note thereafter.

Tarver was hot/cold even during his prime and really was just a placeholder.

Shannon didn't do all that much, he was just there and why Cristobal is even listed on here, I have no idea.

 

Beating somebody the size of Margarito is impressive.

But yea by that time Pac had been in many wars.
