    Ricky Hatton vs Diego Corrales
    Vitali Klitschko vs Larry Holmes

    The current Pac and his newfound skillset would take Naz to school ala Barrera but if it's during the 126 days..it's a toss up.And if they fought before Naz got his ass handed to him by Barrera, I'd pick him to stop a relatively unknown Pac.

    I love Chico, but I think he's made for Ricky. His wiry frame won't be able to withstand brutal body shots and plus the fact that he likes to fight inside despite his reach and his defense is mediocre. But they both have huge hearts. RIP Chico.

    I hate Larry Holmes. But he has one great jab (ATG) so I think he could give Vitali some problems as he is known to set his attacks by his own jab. Pick 'em fight.

    Marvin Hagler is no slick fighter but I think he has the tools to take Hopkins away from his game. Hagler atleast to me, is probably the most frequent switcher of all time. (stance)

    Tommy Hearns would make Williams look like a bum.

    Benitez - Trinidad would have been interesting, a good contrast in styles.
    Arguello-Duran
    Tyson-Vitali - just to see Vitali knocked goofy.
    Sanchez - Pedroza - A fight that really should have been made.

    Anyways, there's a few, I'm sure there's lots more.

    I'd pay $100 to watch SRL show PBF what a true welterweight is all about.

    leonard-mayweather would get sucked into too much of a tactical contest if you ask me.

    Wouldnt have mind seeing leonard fight mosley though - those too would tear the place down.

    Stick Cotto-Benitez on the undercard

    heres a few more....

    Joe Calzaghe-Nigel Benn
    David Haye-Riddick Bowe
    Felix Trinidad-Azumah Nelson (126 pounds)
    Bernard Hopkins-Marvin Hagler
    Oscar De la Hoya-Roberto Duran
