Being a Tszyu fan i would have loved to see him in against the likes of Mosely or Oscar in the late 90's.

Skilled fighters intrigue me, a fight like Floyd v Chavez at 135 would have been a great clash of skills.
Arguello v Sal Sanchez?

Some fights i'd like to see made are matchups where one fighter is an overrated fan favourite against a guy who had great skills but never made the money he should. Altho i am a fan of Gatti it makes me slightly mad that even tho he was half the fighter my boy Kostya was he probably made more than double the money. I'd have loved to see KT get in with Gatti and blast him in 3.

I can think of a million of these. One fight involving more recent fighters that I would've found compelling would've been prime Hopkins-Pavlik. I'll rattle off a couple others: Liston-Foreman, Ali-Tyson, RJJ-Robinson...

Good one. I can think of a few others I'd like to see against Robinson, such as Leonard, Curry, etc. For sure Robinson's record is optically most impressive, but I'm not convinced that he is definitely superior to the best of other eras, in terms of boxing ability and what would happen in face to face, prime vs prime meetings. In that sense I don't think he is necessarily undisputedly the best. Too much weight goes to long extensive records with many fights. IMO.

You should come out to Cleveland if he fights. I could buy you a round of brews at Luigi's.Ever have great lakes brewery beer? Hopefully not in the winter because Cleveland is a bitch when it snows due to the lake Over here about 30 miles from my place further up in the snow belt it snowed 68 inches in 6 days . Kind of like Worecester or Springfield.Hell it dumps allot in Boston. I had to put Pavlik on here. I think Monzon and him would be a slug fest. I would like to see him drop the bronx bull J LaMatta. I think he could. Wilde and Pep would be good. Pep once won a round without throwing a punch.
