Past prime great fighters with one last great fight

[BKM-2010]

This is about great fighters(doesn't have to be ATG's only) who were past their prime and written off in a way, but they had one more great fight in them and delivered. A 'last hoorrah' if you will.

Like Shane Mosley against Antonio Margarito. Miguel Cotto against Floyd Mayweather. Fights like those.

Not sure I classify Foreman vs Moorer as "one last great fight" considering George was getting his ass kicked most of it.....but it was still a hell of an achievement

Thompson - Eubank

[Sugarj]

Holmes vs Mercer (though larry looked pretty good for several years after too)

Jones jnr vs Lacy (Roy's last great display of speed and combination punching)

Herol Graham vs Chris Johnson

Holyfield vs Lewis 2 (Evander's last really great performance)

Hopkins vs Tarver & Pavlik were magic!!!

Duran vs Barkley

If this was about great "Last" fight my first thought was Michael Carbajal coming from behind to stop Jorge Arce. But otherwise with comebacks, Foreman-Moorer would be a favorite here. That was hard to top.

I really enjoyed Sweet Pea's last great performance against Oscar De La Hoya. Some of his defensive moves were incredible and make for fantastic slow motion replays!

What about Thomas Hearns vs Virgil Hill?

I thought about Hearns Hill and Barrera Marquez but I don't think they had been "written off".

[Hawkins]

Walcott - Charles I
