Its amazing to think after all that time - Nelson is still in the World's top 5 and Vincent is in the domestic top 5 (well possibly).
Karl Taylor has surely got to be more than 39. I remember his fight with the late Mervyn Bennett he was a trial horse and was considered past it back then.

Was going to say Nigel Senior... but he hasn't boxed this year. Anyone know if he plans on making 100?

ahh, didn't he say that he was packing it in when his licence was up for renewal last year - regardless if he made it to 100, he did really want to achieve the milestone though.

Stu, I think you are right. Can't remember whether Iain Darke mentioned it on Sky, or it was in BN.
Too bad - would have been great to make your 100th fight in your 20th year.
