I think this will be a short list. The only fighters I can think of are Hopkins and Foreman.

Bob Fitzsimmons won the Light Heavyweight Title when he was over 40 years old.
Archie Moore was well over 40 and was still the Light Heavyweight Champion.

[Jim Jeffries]

Holyfield should've been on that list.
