Name fighters that were more exciting past-prime than in their prime

Evander, Duran, Hearns, i've got too include Camacho (Love him or hate him) he never went away & was allways in the mix & he KO's Leonard.

 

Bobby Chacon. His fights in the 70's were still really exciting, but it wasn't until he adopted that style of laying on the ropes, due to him not being able to move around as much, that his fights became real fight of the year winners and candidates.

 

:good

 

When Pernell Whitaker could not quite protect that average chin, like he once did, as age and weight caught up with him, it made his fights more watchable.

 

Ali
Hagler
Duran
Hopkins (beating younger undefeated boxers)
Holmes (still knocking out people in his 40's)

 

:blood The beating he took from Tito disagrees with that claim.

 

A more recent one would be Casamayor hes had some wars lately now that hes easier to hit.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez as well.

 

Is putting Pacquiao on the list a good move?

i saw some of his early fights and he wasn't as good as he is now.

 

Good call, my favorite fight of his to watch was against Disobelys Hurtado but if that were a prime Pernell against him it would'nt have been.

 

Tszyu and Virgil Hill come to mind. Especially Hill since those early bouts of his always seemed to be destined for a decision no matter what the caliber of opposition.

 

irish Micky Ward

 

Great catch, GreatA..
