Biggest age gap wins by an older heavyweight champion vs a primed heavyweight?

Well I specifically did because, as I explained, it's extremely rare for any fighter not to have been knocked out or dropped by a head shot by the time they've reached his age, including most fighters having been one or the other or both in the amateurs, many more than once or many times. Including many of the legends and greats and so many world champions, even iron-jawed fighters, and most of them had way less amateur fights than he did

The amateurs are still dangerous and they aren't playing tiddlywinks in there.

The great Larry Holmes was knocked out twice in the amateurs by a guy called Nick Wells and TKO'd by another fighter

By 1972, I'd won several eastern titles and was invited to Minnesota to compete in a tournament that was said to figure heavily in the selection of the U.S. boxing team. I made it all the way to the finals there, only to run up against a left-handed slugger named Nick Wells.

It marked the first time I'd fought a lefty. It threw my reactions off. I was hesitant and ended up being an easy target for Wells, who had good power. Good enough to give me the worst beating of my career and stop me in the third round. My first-ever defeat.

The way things unfolded, I had another opportunity against Wells in a later tournament in Texas. This time I managed to find left-handed sparring partners to get ready for him. Guess what? It didn't matter. Not one bit. The guy Wells had my num- ber, and he beat me again. Badly".
