        Azumah Nelson had two great performances in a row against Gabriel Ruelas and Jesse James Leija at 37 years of age.

        Eder Jofre won the WBC featherweight title at 37, 8 years after losing his bantamweight title to Fighting Harada.

              Mike McCallum had a 5 fight win streak in his late 30's, winning the WBC Light Heavyweight title before dropping to Tiozzo at age 38.

              Daniel Zaragoza was in his late 30's when he was defending his WBC Super Bantamweight title, beating fighters like McCullough, Acero-Sanchez and Tatsuyoshi. He was nearly 40 when Erik Morales stopped him.

                  **** Tiger is probably the essential mention in this category, Emile Griffith as well.
