    Who compares to what BHop has done at an old age

    I know there are boxers in the past like Archie Moore and George Foreman that were successful at an old age. But can anyone remember a guy as old or around the age of Hopkins, that maintained his status as a pound 4 pound fighter over 40, as Hopkins has.

    It's really incredible what he has been doing. If he can win 2-3 more big fights, he would sky rocket up the ATG lists.

    So can someone name some boxers who remained so relevant this late in their career/life?

              It is a testiment of his defensive prowess,he has had a career(on the elite level),against elite fighters,in which he has taking the least amount of damage!!And while people always argue he only beat the smaller guys,he was the major underdog against Trinidad,Pavlik and the larger Tarver,B-Hop may very well be the best fighter,that I have seen since I could fully understand boxing!!!I've seen SRL and Hagler,but as far as fully understanding,in a mature sense,B-Hop is the man!!

                    By the time Vargas is Hop's age, he'll be 300 pounds. Maybe he will be the next Butterbean.
