Best Old Man performances vs a younger opponent?

[Jdempsey85]

Duran vs Bronxite Barkley

Kruger in Elm street 3 put up a great battle against some seriously ped'd up kids including a wizard!

Liked Witherspoon vs Mercer,Thought Tim won

 

[Mandanda]

Herol Graham vs an undefeated highly touted Olympian Chris Johnson.

Took him to bits..

 

[Ernest Shackleton]

Without a shadow of a doubt it's Hopkins v Pavlik.

 

[Elyblueaj]

Mayweather v McGregor, the pinnacle of sports entertainment

 

[Maxsplit]

43 year old Tony Thompson KOing the Ring Magazine prospect of the year and Giant unbeaten 28 year old KO machine David Price in his own backyard?

 

[One to watch]

Colin Lynes v Lee purdy

A perfect example at a lower level.

 

[Shadowboxer]

Balboa vs Dixon

 

[James Figg]

Balboa vs Dixon

And Dixon lost his next fight because of the weight he gained!

 

[Shadowboxer]

And Dixon lost his next fight because of the weight he gained!

Well and truly Balboa'd!

Carbajal in his last ever fight KO'ing a young Jorge Arce who was a reigning world champ at the time was a fine result.

Archie Moore vs Yolande Pompey deserves a mention.

 

[hamas]

Nate Campbell v diaz - schooling at times
Casamayor v katsidis - terrific fight
holmes v holyfield - solid performance from holmes
Gomez v khan - seen as a gimme for khan but he ends up decking him and dragging him into a war
Moseley v margarito - they thought shane was done but he comes back to smash the no1 welterweight
Casajello v sturm
And my personal favourite skelton v dallas

 

[hamas]

Colin Lynes v Lee purdy

A perfect example at a lower level.

good shout you could say bundu v gavin/purdy as well

Carbajal in his last ever fight KO'ing a young Jorge Arce who was a reigning world champ at the time was a fine result.

carbajal wasn't exactly long in the tooth he was 30 when he fought arce

 

[Azadi]

george foreman vs michael moorer
george foreman vs shannon briggs
De la hoya vs Pernell whitaker- i thought whitaker beat his arse.
tony thompson vs David price 1 and 2 - Price got destroyed twice and never recovered
Hopkins vs jermain taylor 1 and 2-hopkins atleast won 1 of them if not both.
Froch vs groves- broke groves and he still isn't the same fighter he's regressed imo
Glen johnson vs chad dawson 1- allot of people had johnson winning

 

[McKay]

carbajal wasn't exactly long in the tooth he was 30 when he fought arce

32 he was and over 50 fights into his career, including the wars against Gonzalez and a beat down by Matlala. The small guys generally age quicker as well.

 

[Makingweight]

Some good shouts so far.

Hopkins v Pavlik excellent shouts to all.

British forum as we are have to think recently 'old man' Sergey Khomitsky doing a number on Frank Buglioni and then on Adam Etches.

 

[Azadi]

azumah nelson vs jesse james leija and gabriel ruelas- he knocked them both out at the age of 40
pernell whitaker vs hurtado- whitaker was getting outboxed and came from behind to stop him.
