I wonder who the oldest ACTIVE professinal boxer is?

[OklahomaHoss]

anyone ever think about that besides me? As far as I know, it's Holyfield @ 44. Anyone know of anyone else?

[Words]

Henry Akinwande - 42
Virgil Hill - 43
Bernard Hopkins - 42
Bob Mirovic - 41
Oliver McCall - 42

but the man who WINS ALL for longevity - Ray Mercer, aged 46 and with a fight upcoming.

Historically, I think Roberto Duran carried on fighting until his early 50's, Foreman til 48, Tim Witherspoon til nearly 50, Donny LaLonde til 49, Iran Barkley mid-40's, Thomas Hearns late 40's, Larry Holmes fought Butterbean aged 52 and looked pretty sharp to be honest, Hector Comacho is still fighting and he must be 40+.

Just found this link here. Apparently, this guy, Dexter Dunworth, is 51.

Jesus where'd you find this on Bumfights? I stopped watching after Bum 1 knocked Bum 2 down with a blocked jab in the first 10 seconds of the fight.:-(

you missed out big time then, when bum 2 got up it was like gatti-ward all over again.
