Best ever old man performances?

[yngwie]

Toney over Jirov?

Foreman vs. Moorer?

Ali KO 8 Foreman?

Well Toney went life and death with Jirov, and he wasn't that old, managed to get some good wins after that.
Foreman was taking a beating before the stoppage.
And Muhammad Ali wasn't really that old against Foreman, huge upset, but he was still in good condition.

Holmes vs Mercer was pretty good

Well Toney still won. He asked school or beat. So Toney beat Jirov, just as Foreman won. Ali was in good shape, but past prime. Was done a few years later after Thrilla in Manila.

Hopkins - Tavoris Cloud

Paul Newman in The Color of Money. Hell of a performance. Oscar winning even.

Well he was asking for fights where a great fighter has lost all or most of his physical gifts, but manages to school or beat a good young fighter with pure ring knowledge and technique
Neither Ali or Toney had lost all or most of his physical gifts by then and Foreman didn't win with pure knowledge or technique, he was beaten from pillar to post almost every round before his glorious right hand.
Great fights and wins too.

Duran vs Barkley
Larry Holmes vs everyone he beat in late 80's-90's
Same for Foreman

Ah yes, so then it would be more along the lines of Holmes-Mercer, Foreman and his earlier opponents in his comeback, Duran-Barkley. Would Ali-Spinks 2 qualify then, since Ali was pretty much shot at that point?

[Anthony342]

Robert Deniro in Machete, as he's mostly lost it, at least in terms of picking good scripts, as most of his movies after Cape Fear have sucked a big fat one.

Schooled some of the young actors in that, although most others were older too, like Danny Trejo and Don Johnson.

Or in Silver Linings Playbook or Limitless, he really schooled the young Bradley Cooper in those.

Holyfield vs Valuev

Foreman vs Briggs

Carbajal vs Arce
