Most surprising performance by a "washed up" fighter?

Who you got? Someone who was either too old, past their prime or "shot" but came in to the ring and put on a hell of a performance against someone that was supposed to dramatically outclass them.

 

Mosley vs Marg.. It was pretty much seen as a mismatch and a showcase for Marg, that turned into a disaster..

 

Hopkins v Pavlik

 

Jones-Lacy, even though Jones was expected by many to win, I dont think many expected that dominant a performance.

 

Yep, that was the first fight I had in mind!

 

Morales - Maidana.

Did not expect that, even from a warrior like Morales

 

I reread your question...over someone that was supposed to out class the, that I would have to think about. Duran-Moore would fall more in this category maybe.

 

Man Pastrana after getting dominated and even knocked down by Escalante out of no where ko'd the younger up and coming Escalante. It was one of those you're about to flip the channel because it's so one sided and you flip back just to see the result. One punch changed everything.

 

Duran Barkley

 

Shane Oldsley vs Saul Alvarez:deal

:yep

 

Morales against Maidana.

Everyone expected for Maidana to straight crush Morales. It looked like it was going that way, with Morales eye shutting in the first round. After that Morales did one hell of a job getting back into the fight and even rocked Maidana a couple of times.

 

:good

 

Tyson-Holyfield

 

Foreman-Moorer,although it was more of a great punch.
Mayorga against Mosley?

 

Ali-Foreman must deserve a mention?
Leonard-Hagler?
