Favorite examples of old shopworn fighters reversing the script and beating/exposing prospects?

Pablo Munguia vs. Sam Vargas

 

I enjoyed John Molina, Jr's recent comeback drama 4th rd KO against Ivan Redkach. Felt like Redkach was the favorite going in to that one, and loved watching the turnaround, esp. after Redkach jumped up on the ropes celebrating when he KD'ed JMJr in the 2nd round.

 

Kassim ouma beat the undefeated Powell that was supposed to be a good win over a faded champion

 

Mo Harris sporting an 17-12 record knocking out an up and coming, undefeated Sergei Lyakhovich.

 

mo harris was not a bad fighter
he was have gloves will travel went in with everyone of his day hence his record was spotty

also beat jermemy williams who was seen as a legit top 10 heavyweight contender at the time.

boxing needs the mo harris fighters who are good enough trialhorses to beat the occasional top 10/20 fighters.

i bet and hope he made a good living by being a trialhorse.

 

The best one is Salido vs Loma

 

Maybe he was, but he was very good at boxing. So I'm not surprised when he fought so well against Maidana and Garcia and he would have schooled them in his prime.

As for for his victory over Pacquiao and his 5 losses in a quick stretch 3 of them came against ATG fighters. Including the fighter of the decade square in his prime.

Now Morales had lost some mobility by the time he beat Pac, but he still had his chin, power, skill and stamina. But to beat Pac you don't need to have fast feet. Pac feasts on movers, he just follows them and pounds them. Pacquiao kryptonite is a guy who stands up to his volume and gets him to back off with hard right hands. That's why Barrera was stopped by Pac and Morales won. One man had an iron chin and big right hand. And one guy just had a very good chin and less powerful right hand.

Morales looked really good against Pacquiao the first fight. His move up in weight and his subsequent move down really hurt him. As well as the wars. He was always a naturally bigger man fighting his own size.

 

only a fair fight should be labeled an upset. Fair Justice would be the following:

Duct tape Resto and his trainers hands behind their backs. Blindfold them and then give Mr. Collins an aluminum bat to do as he pleases to them.

The only thing that comes close to this was when James Butler sucker punched Richard Grant on ESPN, after he lost the decision.

 

Jerry Quarry did such two or three times.

 

Jerry Quarry taught Ron Lyle a boxing lesson, when Quarry was right in the mind, he was a good boxer.

Old Man Ortiz could beat Wilder, but Wilder's referee will take Ortiz' walker away, won't even allow him to use a cane! They won't allow him to take his blood pressure medicine either, he will die from a stroke if he makes it to the ring....................but if he does, it will only take one punch, but will he live that long? They will take away his heart medicine also....................plus, Wilder will require him to drink several bottles of cheap wine, not allow him to train and make him live in the alley!

 

We have Zolani Tete v Narvaez (age 42) on Feb 10th. I know Tete is not exactly a prospect but interested to see what Narvaez has left in the tank.

Anybody on here think he has a chance in this one?

 

Not sure if Thompson Vs. Haye counts, certainly the expectation was that Haye would be getting a recognised name on his résumé that backfired!

 

Hahahaha! You make me laugh you do! You make so many stupid petty excuses!!!!!
