I think Hopkins deserves the crown of putting beat downs on younger top proven[at the time] fighters consistently.
Pascal 28, Hopkins 45 and was underdog
Pavlik 26, Hopkins 43-44 and was underdog
Trinidad 28, Hopkins 35 and was underdog
You can also add notable mentions like Calzaghe who was like 7-8 years younger than Hopkins and Hopkins fought a pretty close fight with him, some say Hopkins won.
Same with Taylor in his 20's, Hopkins put up 2 close fights with him at the age of 39-40.
You can also add De La Hoya, Hopkins was like 38 when he fucked up De La Hoya, DLH was 30-31.
