When Tyson was young did he face any vets?

Ali Moore?

Did Moore face any other young turks toward the end of his career?

Foreman Briggs? Or anybody on his return campaign?

Ali/Moore wasn't a title fight. But Archie was a good place to look. Patterson/Moore is worth a gander.

I think, from memory, Patterson-Moore holds the record at Heavyweight. It was wider than Foreman-Moorer.

Briggs-Foreman was wider. The age gap was just over a month shy of 23 years. Briggs born 4th December 1971, Foreman born 10th January 1949.
