Who was the older fighter to be in a professional bout?

thats what I´m talking about... zab judah should hire him on the spot, as chin trainer.. I bet at near 70 Mamby can still take a punch better than Zab or Khan.. oh and that was a TKO not a KO and he was 46 years old at the time, I´m telling you this Mofo can take a punch :boxing: Makes B-Hop and Glen Johnson look like his sons. Hopkins never been stopped but I don't think they can fight up to age 61. They are better fighters however.

Wow, Saoul Mamby was the man! nough said! Respect!

Earnie Shavers fought at 52. He was knocked out in the 2nd round.

As for someone more people will know about, Larry Holmes fought Butterbean at 52. The guy was three months away from his 61st birthday and still fighting. That's got to be the winner there. I know he was a champion but it's an interesting case considering that most boxers, still in their 40's, have trouble getting licensed.

hold up let me check david price's resume to find out
