So, I was watching "Rocky Balboa" the other day and it got me thinking. I know Archie Moore was very old but there was some controversy regarding his real age. That Bozella guy was 52, I think. The oldest one who, at least, talked about stepping into the ring was Foreman, who wanted to challenge Vitali in 2003. Foreman was 53 back then. Do you have any other examples?
