    Default Older and smaller beating the bigger and younger??

    Ive been thinking about the Barrera - Khan fight and im struggling to think of many examples of an older smaller fighter moving up in weight to beat a bigger younger boxer?

    I can think of Hopkins - Tarver and Mosley - Oscar but can you guys think of any to put my mind at rest?

    The first thing that came to my mind thinking of a hyped UK weak chinned fighter with a KO loss taking on a smaller older fighter.....

    Pele Reid Vs Orlin Norris

    Norris won via KO in the first as will Barrera

    yep if the smaller Gomez and Limond could rock him badly, Barrera will spank him good!

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yeah I remember that 1. Pele acted very strangely when he got hit he gets Danny Williams legs. Pele was losing focus too cuz he started saeeing his new bird and after that he was bringing his baby to the gym. He never had the resistance to reach domestic level. I honestly think this might be a 1 rounder too which may surprise some people.

    TAETH - Pavlik was moving up two divisions to fight Hopkins and Toney didnt beat Peter so those two dont really count IMO.

    I suppose Roy Jones beating John Ruiz would count mate.....

    As far as height goes yes, Pav is taller but as far as body frame Hopkins is def. bigger. also Pavlik moved up in weight. In these cases the smaller guy is moving up.

    Lopez beating Grisby quickly comes to mind...
    Olivares beating Chacon sparked him out...

    You can also add JMM beating Juan Diaz soon to the list.
    JMM might be slightly taller but he's def. smaller in body.

    Pavlik was still bigger, Hopkins stayed at middleweight until he was 40, Pavlik won't be able to that because his body is bigger, he is taller by a bit, and broader.
