Bob Fitzsimmons, George Foreman and Archie Moore all won titles in their 40s. Other notable contenders: Ray Robinson as mentioned, Roberto Duran, Larry Holmes, Willie Pep, Max Schmeling.

Yep Archie Moore 145 ko's ( Still a current record apparently ) was fighting well into his 40's , My old dad's favourite fighter so i was brought up my whole life listening to him harping on about how great he was and due to wonders of the internet i have been able to see what he was on raving about , even now with my dad @ three score and ten and dying in his bed all i have to say to him to get a reaction is , Moore was a fucking bum Da and Jimmy (Wilde ) was better P4P, then the real :bbb begins . :rofl

I just realised Johnson is actually 39, but i'm willing to bet he'll still be a contender for a while yet..
