Best wins by fighters 40 or over

Fitzsimmons won the inaugural LHW title against ATG Philadelphia Jack O'Brien at age 41 in 1904, which today is about as old for an athlete at that time as 50 is today... incredible win.

 

basically the whole last 3rd of Hopkins career.

 

One that always gets overlooked is Duran's win over Castro.

 

I believe Hearns was over 40 for his win over recently deposed cw champ Nate Miller.

 

Malinga v Benn
Moore v Durelle
Fitz again.. vs Gardiner.. a natural 175-pounder by then, he challenged LHW champion George Gardiner.. Fitzsimmons took the title aged 40 ..

The man is an absolute legend.

 

Beterbiev's win over Bivol didn't quite make it. He was still 39. Darn. Had to look it up. But still -- being 39 and beating a substantially younger ATG who happens to be a bit of a speedster is pretty impressive.

 

Archie Moore title defenses against Tony Anthony, Yvon Durelle 1 & 2 and Guilio Rinaldi. The date for Archie's birthdate is now pretty firmly nailed down as 1916 as reported in the 1920 census.

 

Luis Ortiz knocking Charles Martin senseless.

Pretty sure Foreman beat someone.

Vitali beating Adamek, Charr, and Chisora.

 

Michael Moorer, maybe?

 

RD was arguably blatantly robbed in his first bouts against IBHOF inductees Macho Camacho and Vinny Pazienza, 45 and 43

 

Foreman beating Moorer.
Hopkins beating Pavlik

 

Bernard Hopkins aged 43 beating Kelly Pavlik, and aged 46 beating Jean Pascal

Vitali Klitschko aged 40 beating Dereck Chisora & Tomasz Adamek
Manny Pacquiao aged 40 beating Keith Thurman

 

Evander Holyfield when he was ROBBED against Valuev at 46

 

Here's an easy one, Foreman knocking out Moorer
