Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
Id like to bring Hagler, SRL, Hearns and Duran into the modern crop.
LaMotta and SRR into Middles also Marciano, Louis and Prime Tyson into todays heavies.
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
Tyson or Hamed. Both for the same reason, they could have been more than they were if their outside the ring management had been betterl. Don't know how much chance anybody would have had with either of them specially Hamed tho
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
A lot of the fighters already mentioned (Whitaker in particular) and Michael Nunn.
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
I pretty much agree with Starr, or Purist, or SSSP...whatever tag line...I agree with the statement.
Hopkins.
Personally...I'd love to see good ole' unrefined & brutal Hopkins brought back from 1990.

Now that I've thought about it more, I forgot Ike Ibeabuchi!
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
Has to be Pernell Whitaker, he never lost in his prime even though the judges robbed him of three victories (Ramirez,De La Hoya,Chavez). The Trinidad fight came after he was far beyond his prime and having drug problems. Nobody could beat a prime Whitaker, I would have loved to see him fight a Sugar Ray Leonard. He is a top 5 fighter of all time IMO.
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?

Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is
Mike Tyson. In his hayday he was dynamic.
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
Joe Frazier. Can you imagine what his left hook would do to Wlad. He would clean out the division imo. Sonny Liston would be a good pick too
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?
All of the above, but also The dark destroyer himself, Nigel Benn and also Michael Watson :'(
Re: If You Had The Power To Resurect Or Turn Back The Clock on A fighter Who Is It?

Herol Graham
Harry Wills
Joe Jeanette
Cleveland Williams
