Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
The popular vote I will assume will be something like Ali-Tyson or Ali-Lennox or SRR-PBF or SRL-PBF......

Alexis Arguello vs. Salvador Sanchez @ Featherweight!!!

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
Honestly...The very best i could imagine...
Roberto duran - Julio Cesar chavez Lightweight..
Floyd Mayweather - Barrera/ Morales/ Pac.. Super featherweight..
James Toney - Bernard Hopkins Middleweight..
But with the floyd thing...Can you imagine how much respect he could have earnt by this stage of his career had he stayed at say super featherweight and fought with all the big names down there...
Barrera marquez pacman barrios morales .. I think he could have gotten so much more respect and truely great legendary fights under his belt had he actually stayed in one division for a prolonged time and unifed a division or maybe a few titles..
Roy Jones jr - Tommy hearns Middleweight... I remember manny once saying he thought tommy would give roy all sorts of trouble.. And he probably would.. But at middleweight i think roy might have stopped him..
Peace

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
Right..So most peoples opinions havnt been that wild...
But it does say prime for prime pound for pound..
So heres some that really wouldnt happen.. But are really quite mental..
Barrera - Hopkins.. A rough tough fight indeed
Roy Jones jr - Manny pacquiao
Johnny tapia - Oscar de la hoya
James Toney - Floyd mayweather
-
Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
Realistically it would have to be the all time great heavyweight matchups,
Ali vs Tyson
Dempsey vs Marciano
Jack Johnson vs Joe Lewis
Foreman vs Lennox Lewis
Then the winners play in a semi, then a final.
My money would be on an Ali vs Jack Johnson final with Johnson winning by stoppage in the 25th round becuase if it's all time rules no way I'm letting these modern day pussies get away with 12 round girlie fights!

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
It's good for the discussion that people are coming up with slightly less obvious fights as well, but THE answer to this question is Ali-Tyson, prime for prime. As a hypothetical matchup, this must have more column inches/web space dedicated to it than the sum total of any others, and opinion is completely divided as to the outcome.

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
if you could only pick one and one only it would be a toss up for me between ali-holmes or ali-tyson but im leaning more towards holmes-ali...who was the greatest of all time im picking ali but it could go either way with these to

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
I would like to see Mayweather fight Sugar Ray RObinson just to prove he is better.
Roy JOnes Jr. vs. SRL, Hagler, Hearns at middleweight or super middleweight
Winky vs. Duran at super welterweight
Ali before exile vs. prime Mike Tyson.
Whitaker vs. Mayweather Jr.
Tszyu vs. prime JCC
JCC vs. Duran
Hearns vs. Trinidad at welterweight (I think Hearns would kill him, but one punch could have it the other way)

Trinidad had a better chin then tommy..
But tommy probably hit that little bit harder..
Tommy was also the better boxer though..

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
noone wants to see cotto vs tito?

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
I think the p4p fight that would draw the biggest gate in boxing history would have to be Sugar Ray Robinson v. Sugar Ray Leonard at welterweight.

I was certain i put it down... But yes..Of course i would love to see that fight..
I think i put it in the other thread..One fight to watch before you die or something..
Wonderfull fight to watch..But i believe cotto has a half suspect chin..Sorta like tito..
Not down as many times as tito.. But tito was strait down strait up.. knockout next round..
Cotto has shown signs of being rather hurt and wobbled by shots from less superior fighters then himself..
I can see cotto putting tito down early and tito winning by way of tko around the 7th..
Also a good mention goes to Julian jackson - James Toney..
I beleive toney wanted this fight after defeating nunn but not sure why it never came..
Would love to see it...
Also i beleive there was rumours of terry norris - tito trinidad once upon a time.. At 154..
That never happened either though..
Peace

Re: P4P......If you could see any 2 fighters (past or present) go at it
Id like to see Vic Darchinian vs Jeff Fenech, both in their primes (though vics still improving) at a catchweight...hmm...since Vic is looking to go up right now...maybe meet at Bantamweight or superfly. What a fight that would be. :o
Also like to see Tszyu vs Mayweather jr...its an extreme longshot but it might happen...though im talking about a matchup of todays floyd vs prime Kostya.
Prime Liston vs Prime Foreman...

I am not sure because I wasn't alive at Robinson's time, but I say Tyson and Ali would be bigger.
