Which fighters have had the longest careers, in pro years?

I was looking through some old fights and noticed that Hector Camacho has been fighting since 80'...... He's been fighting for about 28-29 years!!! with just a few brief gaps in time. Name some other fighter with Long azz careers. jack johnson 1897 to 1938

Gotchya beat. Jack Johnson turned pro in 1897 and had his last fight in 1938. Almost 41 years, and at the age of 60. He got beat, but he was still knocking guys out at age 54. Indeed. That's an incredibly long career.

Chavez started in 1980 and retired in 2005

Evander Holyfield.

I don't think anyone can beat Saoul Mamby, turned pro in 1969, had his last fight in..........2008. 38 1/2 years. Incredible. Gotchya beat. Jack Johnson turned pro in 1897 and had his last fight in 1938. Almost 41 years, and at the age of 60. He got beat, but he was still knocking guys out at age 54.

What about Azumah Nelson fighting last year, for god sake he retired in '98.I know he didn't have the longest career, but was impressive.

George Foreman had a decade long break in between, but turned pro in '69 (at age 20) and fought until '97 (almost 48.) Over 28 years.

archie moore started fighting before ww2 started and his last fight was after the start of the vietnam war. he fought for 27.5 years, and was very active!!!! Good example Lefty

I know a lot of fighters especially from poor countries went pro really early. I mean active for the most part of their careers though. And to the guy that said Manny started at 16, I ain't impressed.

duran: 33 years 1968-2000

roberto duran fought in five decades..think about that for a second

pacmans been pro since 16
