    At some point the old champ is beaten by the young lion...What are some memorable examples of this in recent history? (Think ali-holmes)

    Recent memory? 'Gentleman' Jim Corbett thumping John L. Sullivan for the heavyweight crown.

    Lewis beating Tyson/Holyfield.

    Tyson beating Holmes

    Holmes beating Ali

    Ali beating Liston

    Calzaghe beating Eubank (more domestic but still..)

    all good examples.

    But of course sometimes the Champ has too much for the pretender. Like when Lewis stopped Vitali.

    Lewis Vitali is the OPPOSITE of passing of the guard! It was a shit2shot oldie beating the crap out of the top youngster HAHA.

    Thats like the alternative ending of Rocky 6 where rocky beats the Roy Jones clone champ Dixon.

    Hardly the passing of the guard, Williams was not the next big champ.
