What 2 fighters would make the perfect fight..?
Past or present...dead or alive...within reason ( weight).
Who would you pick and why.?
Sugar Ray Robinson V Henry Armstrong - Welterweight
My choice..!
2 all time greats who had it all... Always in an all time top 10 by anyone who knows boxing and they have amazing fight stats the pair of them ;-)
Armstrong had insane KO power for a small man.... I've read many times he could have handled himself against most Heavies punch wise..whether had the chin to mix it and trade I doubt.
Robinson is my fave ever fighter...he had it all..power , all the punches and killer foot work.
Both were battle hardened and fought on a regular basis and I personally judge a fighter on how often and who he fought.
Can't call this one but would have loved to have seen it, Maybe even side to Armstrong putting Robinson in serious trouble with his power and banging him out.
They would have had a rematch any way... Lamotta and RR fought 6 times with RR winning 4 ;-).
Would have been an amazing fight for sure. ;-)

Mike Tyson and David Tua, because they went out there purely to decapitate people.
Two big bangers with solid chins going at it, what's not to like?

Excellent question. My left nut for a time machine if for nothing else then the question posed.
The fight you chose would have been something else if those two could have met when both were in their prime instead of a time when Armstrong was broke. By all accounts Ray carried him for 10. That had to be humiliating for Hank.
Here is a few more dream fights. Sorry man it was impossible to pick just one so I capped it at 8.
