Roberto Duran beat the much younger Leonard in their first fight. Duran also defeated the much younger lions Barkley and Davey Moore. Mayweather and Pacquiao both beat many top young fighters in their old age and Pacquiao will probably beat another one soon. GGG and Stevenson are getting old and still knocking out good younger challengers. Foreman won the heavyweight title at a very old age. Hopkins has defeated a ton of young lions even at 40 to 50 years old. Actually great old champions defeat young lions all the time. It's not rare or unusual.

Hopkins-Pavlik

Yeah man I'm with you on this one. Pavlik vs Hopkins is a perfect example of a young hungry CHAMP vs a old ATG. I think Hopkins was 44 or 45 for that fight wasn't he??

Mosley vs Margarito qualifies I think. I know Margarito was alot younger than Mosley at the time.

Holyfield vs Bowe II

Holmes vs. Butterbean

[SN!PER]

pretty much every Hopkins fight

Don't take this the wrong way but Butterbean was expected to lose. He was more of side show for boxing professionals.

There are too many to name where veterans beat up younger fighters. I'm sure Ray Robinson has a long list on his resume.

Was joking. Already cited several examples in other posts. Anyway, I never took Butterbean serious.
