    Im interested in what your lists would look like ranking the wins by 40+ year old fighters.

    In order of impressiveness, if possible.

    I can name only 8 now and not in order.

    Moore vs Durelle

    Foreman vs Moorer

    Holmes vs Mercer

    Hopkins vs Pavlik

    Hopkins vs Tarver

    Hopkins vs Pascal

    Vitali vs Adamek

    Pac vs Thurman

    Note: Luis Ortiz win over Jennings is by far the best win for a 60+ year old fighter in boxing history.

    I'm sure there are several great upsets as well as several dramatic outliers that won't come to mind. But I will be curious to check back on this one. Will Archie Moore have a couple? Does Hopkins get on with either Tarver or Pascal? Foreman over Moorer, surely? Pacquiao over Thurman stack up? Is Vitali vs. Adamek not laughable at all? EDIT: Oh, you guys are fast on it.

    No surprise here: Fraizer was in his early teens then while Ortiz was in his 30s

    Well George Foreman beating Shannon Briggs, Pierre Coezter, Gerry Cooney, Bert Cooper, Lou Savarase, Axel Schulz, and even a top 10 guy at the time Adilson Rodriguez was impressive.

    Vitaly Klitschko also defeated Chisora with one arm when he was 41, and Chisora is still knocking people out.

    Oh yea, Foreman vs Holy is an honorable mention in my book. Though George was 42 and lost, he really won the event. Then a few years later, he beat Moorer.
