Archie moore, Sergio Martinez, Nate Campbell and bernard hopkins come to mind. Any others?

well he's not that old but in a sense Manny Pacquiao. Usually as guys hit 30 and move up in weight they get slower, older, worse, and start getting beat. This guy hits 30 and 31 moves up a ton of weight and is even stronger and beating even better guys

According to Floyd, you can't hit your prime after your mid 20's so this thread is all wrong.
