Do a little looking and you should find the record of a man that made his pro debut at 48 years old.
Was Pazienza 40 his last fight? Had to be close. We all know Holy will probably join that list too. Tony Tubbs just fought last year, he has to be close too.
Tony Tubbs is 48 and still fighting
Has anybody over 40 years of age fought quality opponents or just bums.
