Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
If you can pluck two different great fighters in which one fighter would handle the other without much difficulty due to factors like style, intelligence, stamina, etc......
People disagree with me on this but Tommy Hearns would be all wrong for Money Mayweather. Too much size, length, power, activity on the Hitman's side. (6'1", 78" reach). Just too much to overcome.

Agree on Hearns-Mayweather, but not a power issue. Just jab & use the reach like he did through most of Leonard I; Mayweather wouldn't outbrawl him the way Leonard did.
My choice: Foreman-Marciano. Repeat of Foreman-Frazier.

I can't call Wlad an ATG fighter but he would beat the shit out of so many ATG HWs of the past.. a shitload.. Jack Johnson, Frazier and especially Marciano gets destroyed.
Duran would have killed Pacquiao..

vitali klitscho beats marciano
Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
Tyson over Marciano .. Chavez over Cotto (well if you want to consider Cotto ATG, I do) ... De la Hoya over Leonard and my last one Hopkins over La Motta

James Toney has taken punches off Hws nobody destroys him, yes Marvin may have beaten him , but Toney is tough.
Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
(Prime) Foreman-Tyson
No question in my mind Foreman annihilates Tyson.
Whitaker-Pacquiao
Whitaker takes this.

Gotta disagree with Hearns being tailor made to beat Mayweather, Hearns struggled against Benitez so I think he'd have his hands full with Mayweather and vice versa.
Lennox Lewis was tailor made to beat Marciano on a good day. But Lewis has off days where he gets caught with one shot and thats where Louis or Marciano could catch him.
How about All time greats from the same era that never fought?
Jack Johnson was tailor made to beat Jack Dempsey.

Gotto disagree , Mayweather struggled with an old 5'11 Oscar , i admire Floyd , but i personally think a 6'1 natural WW Tommy Hearns beats Floyd everyday of the week, im not saying Floyd hasnt done more in his career , i just think style wise , Tommy wins.
Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
I feel Hearn's, is way to good for Floyd, Hearn's by KO,
Benitez was hard to beat, a master counter puncher one of the
best.;D

Toney also wasn't the defensive fighter at 160 and 168 that he was at 180 and HW, he was rocked by Nunn, banged up a bit by McCallum, and Jones rocked him as well (not referring to the "KD"), apart from the Mugabi fight and maybe the Hearns fight when was Hagler ever in serious trouble? I didn't say Hagler would stop Toney but IMO he just had the style to batter the guy and completely dominate him with his relentless will, sledgehammer power, endless stamina, and well desire to destroy his opponent
