Question

Who is the oldest boxer to have fought a pro bout within the last year, and how old is he?

Answer 1

Saol Samby is. But holyfield is one old dude as well.

Answer 2

This is funny!  You have obviously done some Oscar De La Hoya research.

The oldest man to fight within the past 12 months as Mark said was Saoul Mamby.  Saoul was KO'd in the first round of a fight with Derrel Coley in 1993.  Coley would go on to lose to Oscar De La Hoya in 2000.  

Coley has fought 4 times (and won all 4) since fighting ODLH.  His opponents combined records would be 86 - 175 - 9.  And Oscar is fighting an undefeated fighter in September.  Make sense?

Answer 3

Former junior welterweight champion Saoul Mamby, and he is 60 years old.  He last fought on 3/8/2008 and he lost a 10 round decision to a fighter with a record of 6-25-1.  Here is his boxrec page: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...
