Which fighters have had the longest careers, in pro years?

[Me La Pelan]

I was looking through some old fights and noticed that Hector Camacho has been fighting since 80'......

He's been fighting for about 28-29 years!!! with just a few brief gaps in time.
Name some other fighter with Long azz careers.

[Toney Loc]

Well, Hearns isn't officially retired yet

[Me La Pelan]

I know a lot of fighters especially from poor countries went pro really early. I mean active for the most part of their careers though. And to the guy that said Manny started at 16, I ain't impressed.

Good example Lefty

[Jim Jeffries]

George Foreman had a decade long break in between, but turned pro in '69 (at age 20) and fought until '97 (almost 48.) Over 28 years.

I don't think anyone can beat Saoul Mamby, turned pro in 1969, had his last fight in..........2008. 38 1/2 years. Incredible.
