Trivia: Hopkins is the last; who was the 1st?

[Bundana]

Silvio Branco retired today, looking at his record he fought for 26 consecutive calendar years. Bundana do you know how many fighters in history have fought for at least 25 consecutive years? I ask because i'd like to know the answer, not because I know it.

I can't swear, that I haven't overlooked someone... but I believe there are 18 men in this club:

Kid Azteca, 33 years (1929 - 1961)
Archie Moore, 29 years (1935 - 1963)
Luis Ramon Campas, 28 years (1987 - 2014)
Jim Flynn, 27 years (1899 - 1925)
Jack Britton, 27 years (1904 - 1930)
Jerry Strickland 27 years (1974 - 2000)
Joe Brown, 27 years (1945 - 1970)
Baby Vasquez, 26 years (1949 - 1974)
Juan Polo Perez 26 years (1982 - 2007)
Lee Cargle 26 years (1982 - 2007)
Yoshinori Nishizawa, 26 years (1986 - 2011)
Silvio Branco, 26 years (1988-2013)
Sam Langford, 25 years (1902 - 1926)
