Who are some fighters who started boxing late but went on to become successful fighters?

Thanks.

Rocky Marciano went professional at 23 or 24.

I was reading about another guy last week who started pretty late (early 20's, like 23) and I can't remember who it was.

Tarver is one

That's who I saw, he was near 30.

I don't know if TS takes the amateur career into account or not though

if he does, Tarver is not a good choice

Dwight Qawi 25
Rocky Maricano 23
Glen Johnson 20
Jeff Chandler 19
Earnie Shavers 22/23

Lawrence Clay-Bey 20's
Wilfredo Vasquez 21

Yeah, I'm talking about fighters who took up the sport late. Not when they turned pro.

I heard Bonecrusher Smith took it up at 28. Shavers didn't have his first amateur bout till 22
