    Wins that aged well.

    Was rewatching some Juan Manuel Marquez fights today, I kind of forgot he fought Salido on the Hopkins-De La Hoya undercard. At the time, this was viewed as a very underwhelming opponent and performance for/by Marquez. In hindsight it was a good win.

    Salido would go on to be a 4 time, 2 division champion beating an undefeated Juanma Lopez and again in a rematch, Robert Guerrero (sort of) and Vasyl Lomachenko albeit in only Loma’s second professional fight. He also got jobbed against both Rocky Martinez (rematch) and Francisco Vargas IMO. Very good fighter.

    Any other wins that’s status improved greatly over time?

          Marquez over salido is a good shout. A couple that come to mind for me:

          Roy Jones over Bernard Hopkins
          Salvador Sanchez over Azumah Nelson
          Margarito over Sergio Martinez
          Andrey Kotelnik over Marcos Maidana
          Freddie Norwood over Juan Manuel Marquez

              Don't think these wins fit the question at hand tbh.

              I'll say:

              Mayweather vs Canelo
              Calzaghe vs Hopkins
              Caudras vs Sristaket


              I'll post others that come to my mind.

                  I mean MAB's win at the time over Hamed was already big. But what exactly did Hamed go on to do after the MAB fight to make that win look better? Likewise with Broner?

                  RJJ is asking for examples of wins that look even better years later. Meaning when the losing fighter went on to do big things afterwards and proved just how good he was.
