    Honorable mention: Mayweather - Canelo (would be number #1 but for the catch-weight nonsense)

    Depends what you mean by “old”. I’m assuming you mean fighters around ages 40 and up.

    Pacquiao vs Thurman
    Foreman vs Moorer
    Hopkins vs Pavlik
    Moore vs Durrelle 2

    Didnt Jessie James beat a prospect that he was twice his age? Fransico Bojado I think.
    John John Molina gave a much younger Tackie and Augustus boxing lessons.

    Holmes-Mercer: To me it was like Larry won the title again, as Mercer had just vacated the WBO title before than fight.
