Fights where we unfairly wrote off an old guy too quickly

Holyfield-Bowe III

[The Gully Gad]

Also i admit the Mosley/Margarito one...

Just thought Mosley had seen better days

[Dorian]

Most people wrote Mosley off due to his performance in the Mayorga fight.

duran vs barkley

Cotto/Mosley - Proven by the destruction of Antonio Margarito.
Calzaghe/Hopkins - Proven by the downfall of the invincibility of Kelly Pavlik.

It's kind of strange that we wrote both of these fighters off as a thing of the past when they both lost very close decisions that probably could have gone the other way.

Any other fights in recent memory where this unfairly happened to an older fighter?

both fights were clear losses but no one likes calzaghe thats why every one were talkin about bernard was washed up and the fact that cotto outboxed shane and was able to take shane's punches made alot of people believe that shane was fallin off

Most people wrote Mosley off due to his performance in the Mayorga fight.

oh yea, i always forget about the mayorga fight but shane knocked mayroga out the only thing was that shane was to patient in waitin for mayorga to start throwin wild punches to counter off
