Are there any examples where an older, slower, and shorter boxer out boxed and won a

Berbick-Page.

 

Hopkins-Tarver, though I wouldn't say Hopkins was the slower of the two. Pascal as well, but not sure about the height on that one.

Duran-Barkley might be the best call I can think of. By that point Duran had slowed down enough that Barkley looked like the faster of the two.

 

Barrera was definitely quicker than Morales.... Morales had excellent timing but average speed..... IMO Barrera had excellent hand speed and faster than most Top JF,FW and JL.

Height:

Valdes 6'3"
Moore 5'11"

Age:

Valdes 27 years old
Moore 36 years old

knockdowns: zero

 

I'm amazed that it has taken until page three of this thread for Jim Watt-Howard Davis, Jr. to be mentioned.

Watt was actually described as being slower than most lightweights, while Howard was defined as the fastest man in boxing, over Ray Leonard, Wilfred Benitez, Tommy Hearns, and everybody else competing in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Jim was 5'8", while Howard was 5'10", and used his height to lean away from head shots like Ali. Watt handed Davis his first defeat with a clear cut UD in defense of his WBC LW Title. As far as I'm concerned, Jim's forever the poster boy on how a shorter, slower and older boxer can defeat a taller, faster and younger opponent conclusively on points without needing any knockdowns as an aid.

 

Paulie Ayala was slower and shorter than Tapia... but younger.

Hearns vs HIll? Although they were about the same height.
Bobby Czyz -Robert Daniels
Evander Holyfield - Fres Oqueno
Frans Botha- Shannon Briggs a draw but i though Botha won
Harold Weston-Wilfred Benitez draw
Daniel Zarragoza was slower and older than alot of guys , although same height or taller than his opponents----- Wayne Mccullough,Tatsuyoshi,Acero Sanchez

 

:good

 

IMO Barrera is much quicker and more fluid than Morales
Bobby Czyz-Robert Daniels
Tony Lopez- John John Molina
Frans Botha- Shannon Briggs was a draw but thought Botha won
Daniel Zarragoza- Mccollough, Tatsuyoshi,Acero Sanchez although the same height.

Paulie Ayala-Johnny Tapia although he was younger
Greg Haugen-- Camacho I, Pazienza and Jimmy Paul although same height as first 2 and a year younger than Paul.
Julio C Chavez- Kamau,RObinson,Martin, Lonnie Smith
Jose L Ramirez- Terrance Ali
Jake Rodriguez-Charles Murray
Rickey Hatton-Luis Collazo
Jorge Paez - Julian Wheeler
ORlando Salido- Robert Guerrero later reversed to NC
Chiquita- Carbajal II- III
Vasquez- Marquez III although more of a brawl
Ayala-Bones Adams ?? Speed maybe equal
Quiroga - Kid Akeem more of a slugfest
Jesse J Leija- Panchito Bojado,Ivan Robinson
Azumah Nelson- Gabriel Ruelas
Phillip Holiday- Ivan Robinson
Leonard Dorin-Paul Spadafora draw but Dorin should have won

 

Victor Galindez-Eddie Gregory?

 

:goodAbsolutely the best post I've read in a while.Well ****ing put.:goodWhen I read some of the posts on these boards,I believe some people never even saw Duran during his lightweight dominance.

 

That might be the best one so far.

 

Jofre vs Legra

 

When he took on Palomino, he was described by SI's Pat Putnam thusly:

"The higher weight slowed Duran not at all. He bewildered Palomino with flicking head and shoulder feints; he battered him with punches thrown at blinding speed."

 

Don't know if it falls in with what you are looking for, but I was thinking about Winky Wright vs Trinidad
