Old fighter's who were able to beat class pressure fighters

Robinson vs. Fulmer and Turpin?

 

Bob Fitzsimmons against Tom Sharkey would be a fair call.

 

Tunney was technically in the twilight of his career when he beat Dempsey. Though Dempsey wasn't really all that great of a pressure fighter anymore.

 

Antonio Tarver against Glencoffe Johnson?

I think Tarver won both fights.

Both Tarver and Johnson were old though.

James Toney against Vasilly Jirov.

 

i don't think robinson was old when he fought turpin but he was pushing up daiseys when he fought fullmer and basilio

 

Toney/Jirov

 

"Irish" Bob Murphy while not a pressure fighter in the true sense of the word nevertheless was an aggressive slugger who ended up taking a pasting at the hands of Jake LaMotta in their return bout. Jake who had a million miles on him by then and was only a few fights away of calling it a career mixed both boxing and brawling and defeated his much younger, stronger hard hitting foe and had him on the verge of a stoppage in the 9th round when he pummeled him along the ropes towards the end of the round.

 

These fights come to mind:

Ali over Frazier in the Thrilla in Manila

Monzon over Valdez (twice)

 

Old Foreman over Michael Moorer, if MM is considered "pressure"

 

Well, Frazier was more over the hill than Ali at that stage of their careers imo. That´s like the Tarver-Johnson thing. I don´t think it fits very well in.

 

Morales against Pac.

I can not think of any recent old boxers who won against solid pressure fighters.

Floyd is not old when he humiliated Hatton.

 

Roberto Duran Vs. Iran Barkley

 

Casamayor-Katsidis (stretch of the world class)
Holyfield-Tyson (althought Tyson had turned into a bit of a slugger)
Lewis-Vitali (Vitali isnt a traditional pressure fighter but he threw **** loads of punches which is pressure for a 37yo Lennox)

Not the best examples perhaps
