    Calderon Cazales is happening tonight.

    What does history tell us about this type of match up? Any good examples?

    Leonard was by no means old. Older than Hearns yes, but I don't think that's what he was looking for. Aging/fading boxers in general.

    Yes, though to be fair, I wasn't very clear.

    Past-prime boxers versus primed punchers who are bigger, would have been a better way to say it.

    Most recently, how about Casamayor vs Katsidis? Great fight, by the way.

    Bernard Hopkins was 36 when he dismantled Trinidad, and 41 when he ran over Tarver, and he'll be giving another example soon.

    I don't know how old Pep was when he fought Saddler.

    I think Holmes-Tyson, Holmes-Holyfield, and Holmes-Mercer (all of Holmes' fights after his comeback) all count.
