    Best old fighter of all time is clearly Bernard Hopkins, just like fine wine he keeps getting better with age, but sooner or later age will also catch up with Mr. Hopkins.
    ...Old George was not washed up. IMO Old George was more dangerous than the young version of himself, because in his 2nd career big george knew not only how to ration his power, but he knew about fear in himself and could see it in other men, spot it a mile away. He had a vast ring intelligence, throw left hooks to the body to make you move to his right, then land a big right hand.

    i beg to differ when you say he got lucky with his power. moorer wasnt that great, pulling off a gameplan against him shouldnt be so difficult to believe.

    best old fighter of all time is archie moore.

    hopkins is great tho.

      best old fighter of all time is archie moore. maxie 'slapsie' rosenbloom had the best defense ever.

      hopkins is great tho.

      moorer also didn't really want to fight sometimes, mentally he's a question mark. moorer makes a better trainer than a fighter
