    Did you know, for example, that Oliver McCall fought a year ago, at the age of 53?

    Also Ron Lyle fought at the same age, iirc.

    Who else?

    Rocky Balboa was in his early 60s for his last fight.

    Kenny Lane came back in his 50's and Earnie Shavers won a fight unlicensed I think in his 60's

    Bad example, it was an exhibition fight as the sanctioning bodies didn't accept it. You of all people should remember THAT

    After Serving 25+ Years for a Crime He Didn't Commit, Dewey Bozella Made His Professional DEBUT @ the Age of 52!!!...

    If Not a Full Blown RECORD, the List of Fighters to Have Matched This HAS to Be Pretty Fucking Short...
