    This could cause a bit of debate this topic on the exact meaning of "past prime"..

    But as an example this is what Im talking about...Tommy Hearns vs Dennis Andries.

    A few years after the Hagler war, miles away from his best weight but Tommy put on a beautiful and dominant performance against a pretty handy titlist, who continued to prove his class in the next few years.

    One of my favourites along with Harada-Famechon I.

    That ranks pretty high on my list aswell...Gets a tad overrated because of the overhyping of Pavlik but the level of domination makes that one special.

    This will always stir debate, but one has to mention Leonard-Hagler. That's the most immediate one.

    Hearns - Hill ranks high on my list.

    Duran - Barkley was great too.

    Hagler was also past his prime though.

    Sure, but not by as much. And he was in his natural weight, which Leonard wasn't.
