Who were the best boxers who were late bloomers. The only one I can think of is Bernard Hopkins. Who else?

Not exactly a great fighter but Froch got better in his mid to late 30’s IMO.

Mike Tyson was a late bloomer. He was 12 years old when he got into boxing.

Sergio Martinez comes to my mind

[Dodger07]

Both Deontay wilder and Anthony Joshua started boxing at a late age, late teens or early 20s.

Antonio Tarver is another that started boxing late

Juan Manuel Marquez didn't start late but I don't think his greatness was truly displayed until his later years. He was around his peers Erik morales and Marco Antonio Barrera at the same time but outlasted them both

Ray Mercer became Olympic and World Champion in his mid to late twenties.
