    Pac vs ODH waas onoe of the bigger disgraces given how "huge" of a win everyone at the time made it out to be.

    I disagree a bit with the ODH vs Chavez because Oscar was really young at the time and it wasn't like he waited for Chavez to get old. He basically fought him as soon as he could.

    How the hell is Cotto's win over Sergio not on here? :huh

    Still the same result as Mayweather still has the reach and skill to keep the midget at arms length unlike the Ricky Hattons of this world.

    true, but what does that have to do with young fighters beating old fighters?

    May and Pac both got on in years.

    Bro. Manny just wiped the floor with 3 young fighters with different styles. Why did it not affect him in those fights in accordance to fans.
    He was knocking Chris all around the ring, he beat Rios into tears and Rios popped for substance abuse, and Manny boxed the ankles off of Bradley, had him in a wheelchair.
    Why is it that he froze up on fight night with Floyd if it did not affect him 3 fights prior after the KO?:huh

    Saline water is not a steroid and if he was o it he would get popped. Mayweather is not god and does not have an infinite amount of money to pay off the world. De La Hoya had more than him before that fight and he got pinched for Riods right?
    Couldn't Roy Jones have paid off USADA too when he was the man still?

    I still can't see how people call Floyd stupid but make him out to be the biggest mastermind in all of sports entertainment.
    Which one is it?:patsch

    Vitali winning the event vs. old Lewis could be added to the list.

    Tyson - born June 30th 1966
    Lewis - born September 2nd 1965

    So Tyson was actually the younger man being beaten by an older fighter. He was clearly shot though and Lewis had good longevity.

    The only two guys who got credit were Marciano and Kovalev, because Joe Louis and Bernard Hopkins had beaten a string of top contenders before the fight.

    The other guys on your list beat guys who were both old and shot, which is why they got no credit. Marciano and Kovalev beat guys who were old but still A-level fighters.
