Bernard Hopkins set a new benchmark in boxing history by becoming the oldest world champion at age 46 when he defeated Jean Pascal for the WBC and Ring Magazine titles.
Despite setbacks, such as losing his titles to Chad Dawson, Hopkins defied expectations again by claiming the IBF championship at 48 after defeating Tavoris Cloud.
He successfully defended his title twice, even unifying it with the WBA title in a bout against Beibut Shumenov.
Both Hopkins and George Foreman, previously the oldest champion, left unparalleled legacies within the sport.
