However, it appears Father Time apparently has as much trouble getting to Hopkins as Cloud did. At the age of 48, he has once again set a new standard in boxing as the oldest champion ever, another impressive performance that will go down in the annals of boxing history. But does this latest historic win by Hopkins make him the greatest ‘Over 40’ boxer of all-time?  Here are my top 5 boxers over the age of 40 in history. 5. Roberto Duran (Over 40 record: 18-7-0 w/ 9ko’s) Duran was mainly a bloated version of his iconic self after he turned 40.  He fell short when facing upper-echelon fighters of the time.  He dropped two fights to Vinnie Pazienza and Hector Camacho and oneto...

The Canadian fought over a 22-year period, from 1956 to 1978.  He won his first four professional fights over the course of one night.  Participating in the Jack Dempsey Heavyweight Novice Tournament, refereed by the former champ, Chuvalo stopped Gordon Baldwin and Jim Leonard in the second (the former by TKO, the latter by KO) and Ross Gregory and Ed McGee in the first (both by KO). Chuvalo became Canada's heavyweight champ two years after turning pro by kayoing James J. Parker in the first.  In 1959, he knocked out Yvon Durelle in th...

In addition to the amount of wins, losses or knockouts a fighter possesses, another number exists that is often discussed in the buildup to a prizefight: age. However, history reveals that neither 43-year-old former Undisputed Light Heavyweight World Champion Antonio “Magic Man’’ Tarver nor unbeaten 29-year-old top rated cruiserweight Lateef “Power” Kayode will have a clear advantage or be at a distinct disadvantage when they clash in the main event on Saturday, June 2 on Showtime. The same goes for the evening’s co-featured bout between 40-year-old former Undisputed Junior Middleweight World Champion Winky Wright and undefeated 28-year-old Brooklyn native Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin. Boxing’s history includes many instances of fighters in their 40's taking on 20-somethings, and SHOWTIME color commentator and boxing historian Steve Farhood assembled a list of marquee fights in w...
