I remember John Michael Johnson's performance against Junior Jones. He showed classic defense, blocking and parrying punches at a world class level before stopping the heavily favored "Poison" to win the WBA Bantamweight title. He lost the belt in his first defense against Daorung Chuwatana via first round stoppage.
This was back in 1994.
Flash forward twenty years later and he is in the second fight of his return to the ring. For 46 year old who had been out of the ring for over ten years and had to lose over 100 lbs...his performance isn't half bad for an "old man."
