      Duh, I didn't see the poll at the top! Strange that the first four names I listed were the top four in the poll!?

          Im going to vote Hopkins. Why? because I don't know about who has the best or worse but Hopkins stands alone in the modern era for what he has done at his age. He beat up some pretty good fighters by the standard comp of his day.

                And even when losing, it was often by very slim margins or disputed decisions to excellent opponents.

                  I'm surprised Robinson has not got more votes. Near as dammit everything he did after the St Valentines day massacre was post 30 years old...........including regaining the middleweight title four times!!!

                  Turpin
                  Several wins over Bobo Olson
                  Basilio
                  Fullmer
                  Graziano
                  A very honourable light heavyweight challenge to Maxim

                  Hell, he was still putting up good challenges at world level at 39. Both Pender fights were split decision losses......and he managed a draw with a still prime Fullmer at around this time too.

                    Honorable mentions should go to foreman and mayweather . and Julio Cesar Chavez. Foreman did beat Briggs despite what judges said and he knocked out moorer .And yea mayweather deserves a mention.
