When superior technique beat superior athleticism

Erik Morales beating Pacquiao maybe qualifies
Dmitri Pirog knocking out Daniel Jacobs
Chavez beating Camacho
Crawford beating Gamboa

 

yes that's fair although i don't think he had lost any speed or reflexes at this point.

 

Ruiz over AJ.

 

The first that popped into my head was McCallum vs Watson. Surprised no one has mentioned it yet.

 

Joe Choynski vs. young Jack Johnson
Jimmy Young vs. George Foreman
Archie Moore vs. Nino Valdes

 

Byrd Vs. Vitali

 

Calzaghe-Lacey has not been mentioned.

 

I don't know about that, but to each their own.

 

Hopkins-Pascal was the first fight that popped into my mind.

 

Mercer Holmes

 

Its a good example. Although Nunn was ahead, i do think Toney was having his moments throughout the fight. He broke down Nunn slowly even though Nunn was having his own moments.

 

I found Kostya to be the better athlete.

 

Toney was far more athletic than Nunn.

 

Not in terms of movement and foot speed, no.
