watching an old roy jones fight is heartbreaking

Foreman fought dangerously into old age, but differently than the others on the list.

big George is the exception to the rule, and probably the reason all these other guys are on your list, trying to emulate him.

goerge foreman was a badass

I saw George Foreman's incredible run from about '90 to '95 first-hand. To me, his is still the greatest comeback story in sports history.

boxing is dangerous no matter how old you are.

I hate seeing Roy being beat by boxers that wouldnt last 1minute in his prime!!

I don't think foreman fought dangerously into old age, considering he was never knocked out in his second half of his career

surprised Duran wasn't on this list. he fought from 1968 till 2001 and had over 100 wins.

Jack Johnson actually fought into his 60s!

"Will we ever see Roy Jones Jr in the ring again?" "Nope" This was back in 2004. Crazy he's still fighting

Hopkins was never broke or is ever going to be broke. He just love fighting that all so Hopkins is an understatement.

Best boxing videos I've come across. So glad I subscribed. Keep it up!

great video bro keep them coming what's next

Hey! Another great video 👍✌️

After what happened last night B Hopkins definitely has to retire

Great video, with informative commentary.

Your videos are epic bro. Plenty of fans and more to come!

Great list and thank you for a fab upload!!

Great video!!! Very well done!!!

My heart hurts when i see Roy still fighting...

excelent Video as always man

The script is very well written, BLTV great video again.

Excellent work as always!

I love your channel keep up the good work

Age means different things to different people. I watched Manny v Thurman and looked like their ages were in reverse. Maybe not so much age but when the ability is in decline and yes many times age is a factor but not always. I think some fighters burn out no matter what age case in point Mike Tyson. When you are winning world titles aged 45 it must be difficult to retire. Foreman beat Briggs. This is the problem with points you just can't trust judges because if you could GGG would still be a Champion.

Great video man

"26" rounds!!! Let that sink in.

first one looks like the kfc guy

Speaking of age, my father is a 77 year old former professional heavyweight. He's 6"2 and 240. I can absolutely assure you that I would never - even on a dare - want to get punched by him. His hands look like lunch boxes and he no longer even has knuckles they've been pounded into hands. Instead, it's a giant layer of callous. I used the sparing pads with my father and he missed throwing a straight right and bopped me right in the forehead. I went down for the 10 count lol. My father would say "Yeah I can only go one round or two now..so you gotta make it count". That's how Foreman and Hopkins remained around for so long. They adapted, trained to their strengths, trained even harder to compensate for the age gap and proved to the world the impossible. The rule of thumb in Boxing is that a fighter really never loses his punch. He'll age, and unless he has a neurological ailment, take a punch from a former pro even at 60 years old - you'll regret it.

Make a list of your personal top 20 fighters ever

When the fuck did Hopkins start calling himself 'The Alien'? Is that really what he is calling himself now? Damn you know a guy is old when he starts to needs a new, worse nickname.

Another great video

Honestly... I don’t like boxing very much. What I do like is seeing punks/bullies/braggarts getting what’s coming to them, and that’s how I discovered your channel, and I’ve developed a better appreciation of the sport because of your work. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

I really love this channel

i have so much respect for these warriors cause they have nothing more to prove to the world how dominate they can be

nice work

Great video and music

Now Tyson’s back for an exhibition and looking 🔥

The dude who produces 'Boxing Legends TV' is a real professional. The best.

nice video, do anybody know name of the song when they start showing suger Ray Robinson ,mosley, etc

Your voice is beautiful. Keep going.

Wow dude, in just 2 years, your quality of videos went from great to fantastic! What an improvement, your mic makes a huge difference now as you sound washed out in this video.

great list

Roy Jones is destroying his legacy..saaad

wHAT??? Where is Archie Moore?? 136 professional knock outs (with total 219 prof fights), fought until 47.

took a dive in the 26th round? LOL

Oliver Mccall must be on this list. He still fighting

that referee stoppage in the botha fight ... my god his licence should be taken away

good list

Great video, hard to argue the pick's. I think bhop is finally done, as of 12-17-16 . I love me some Larry Holmes, and I think he actually got away with his head in good shape still. Roy JJ. NOT so much. Some tough beat downs. I know most of this men would said the money was nice, but they miss being " The Man" and the attention. THANKS again.

Been trying to find the intro music in "Boxing Knockout kings pt2" from 0:22 to 0:46 for days now and can't find it

Great list! You gotta give it up for all of these dude, most cats their age are home on the couch watching the fight talkin about "back in the day...". I'm younger than all of these dudes and I wouldn't even consider a professional fight. Especially at my weight class!!

old but gold ♥

i love how jones jus chills on the floor for a bit before he gets up😂

yall forgot Luis Ortiz he's is like 400 years old and still fighting

holmes was the easton assassin, not the eastern assassin. ffs.

8:27 Holmes is the "Easton Assassin"

Anyone know that instrumental playing during the jack Johnson segment?

Whats the beat playing during george foremans bit??? 5:25

Botha is a badass! He had the balls to fight Mike.

6:03, and i feel guilty after eating a big mac and a mcdouble. LMAO

Sometimes you gotta know when it's time to go. Archie Moore is my personal favorite old fighter. Respect to all of these guys though. They dug in and went through all the pain to make it to the top.

Why didn't you mention James Toney losing to Randy Couture in mma?

Maybe a evader holyfield complication? not so many on youtube

Roy Jones did hurt his career by not leaving at the right time. He’s one of the greatest of all time and tons of people only remember his last few fights.... But how dare you say George Foreman. His comeback was a god damn revelation!! It was beautiful

I love hearing about these 50 year old boxers KO'ing their opponents. Makes me feel so young and full of potential lol.

A good video is : Damages after retirement.

Do a video on the top ten dangerous oldest boxers that are still fighting

The picture you uploaded alongside Francis Botha for Joseph Parker was actually sonny Bill Williams

props for the closing song

Lest go champ!!!!

Big George fought "dangerously" for his opponents.

Great video as ever,, I think Roberto Duran should have made top 5 tho.

Please consider putting the "No Flockin" instrumental by Kodak for a fighter spotlight

6:43 look at the size on Evanders left lat muscle compared to his right side. Left hooks build you up more than that straight right crosses on a bag.

I dont agree with Roy Jones still fighting but his legacy will never be destroyed.

what is the name of the song at 9:19

when you love somthing so much you would die for it its hard to give it up

Good choices!

The "26th Round". Good Lord!

I would have put Thomas Hearns on this list as he fought until age 47 although he won most of his later fights. In my opinion he shows signs of punch-drunkeness: the slurred speech, etc., which is sad.

Man I forgot all about James Toney I used to like watching him in the 90s

best part of the video was to see the pit dog at the fight just chillin lol

anybody knows the name of that song he played at the end or the guy who raps that song. it was like a 90 hit

1:55 when your mom agrees to buy you a kids meal

BHop has the most satisfying retirement fight ever lol.

Add Pacquaio to the list

Watching Jones lose to Tarver was one of the worst experiences in combat sports for me. One bad ko can take the rest of your career away just like that. Saddening.

Bernard Hopkins as I understand it is in negotiations to fight Joe Smith Jr. (a contender since his upset KO victory over Andrzej Fonfara)...if he beats Fonfara that's a hell of a great win for a fighter well over 50 and would be a wonderful note to go out on.

That i still remember his second retirement Foreman’s which i swear just felt like it was just yesterday.

Foreman had one of the hardest punches and one of the strongest chins in history. He was too slow to have good defense in his comeback and still nobody could knock him out

awesome

This vid is a cautionary tale against brain trauma. Especially Jones Jr. Not even joking.

Boxing is dangerous at any age. The only difference is whether or not you can still adequately defend yourself.

Mike Tyson aged 54 and Roy Jones jr aged 51

What beat is that at 10:50

I'm related to Antonio Tarver

Age can matter, but wear and tear taken on the brain and body matters more. A guy who has not taken a lot of punishment over the years can still box and compete in his 50's and maybe even 60's. A great fighter like Pipino Cuevas, for example who beat the hell out of people and also took a number of serious poundings by his young twenties, could be old in the boxing ring at age 25. It is all relative, and no two bodies are the same.

Roy Jones Jr last fight was in early 2018 how crazy
