    Fail.


    I even read the responses...


    Anyway, recently the Mares fight comes to mind.

    Kirkland - Ishida was weird too

    As for older ones? Macho Camacho vs Greg Haugen should be up there.

      Khan is more athletic and fast than Garcia but doesn't have a sizeable edge in technique.

      Douglas was athletic and talented, just lazy.

      Glen Johnson-Roy Jones. Jones was faded, but still far more athletic than Johnson (who was old also).

        I'm surprised no one has mentioned Pac-Marquez 4! Juan may be smarter than Manny but he's inferior to Manny in every other way which includes youth, athleticism, speed, power, and experience fighting at 147. But Marquez was still able to win.

        Garcia-Herrera should be an honorable mention but Danny got a gift decision.

              Great Example. Pac went into beast mode after that first KD and it looked like he was going to steamroll Marquez by simply overpowering him with physical ability.

              And then Pac went to sleep.

                marquez had more power everytime they fought at 147, more power, more strength all round which lended to a better chin than pacquiao

                in the 4th the strength gap was huge
