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.

This is a good thread, I can't think of any right now but it's something to think about.

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

Yes you do that, we are eagerly waiting for your reply. :)

Ali and Tyson....look what Ali did to Liston, Patterson, & Foreman. No way Tyson takes Ali.
Tommy Hearns and Mosley, look at the guys that beat Mosley namely Forrest and Wright....Hearns just as tall and lanky but with killer power.
-
Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
Holyfield v Ali (like Norton did)
-
Whitaker vs Tszyu, gotta agree big time with El Kabong on the Hearns vs Mosley matchup. I always thought that Mayweather would have made Trinidad look really bad...just my opinion though.

Jack Johnson was tailor made to beat Jack Dempsey.
Tommy Hearns handily beat Wilfred Benitez, he didn't struggle with him much at all. I see the Floyd Mayweather fight being the same way, with Floyd Mayweather Jr losing a pretty decisive decision

Hearns handles Mosley fairly easily at 147.

Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
Tyson v Louis because Tyson started fast and Joe was slow. Tyson could jump him.
Ali v Joe Louis because Joe could not handle speed, boxing skills and good movement.

I'm a big Floyd fan and I don't disagree that Hearns would be about as tough a fight as you could get for Mayweather. Styles make fights and that would be a tough one for PBF.
On the subject of Mayweather, I don't think Roberto Duran wins 2 rounds against Floyd Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker at LW. Not that Duran wasn't the better LW than those guys all time, but the styles were just poison for him.
Joe Frazier wouldn't last 3 rounds with Mike Tyson IMO either. They could fight 100 times and Joe would get knocked out 100 times.

Until he felt the power of Tito and then he would either be knocked out or lose a decision running on his back foot.

If you fight Floyd, you better hope that your money punch is a straight right, like Hearns, because you're not landing a hard left hook on Floyd's chin. Hopkins embarrassed him, Winky embarrassed him, Oscar embarrassed him and got robbed... I can't see him beating Floyd.

Tito had an OK right hand and the other fighters beat Tito at their best weight.

Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
He had a nice right hand but I don't think it was anything amazing. Tito was a great boxer-puncher but he had his technical flaws... I don't think he puts hands on Floyd enough to win.
-
Re: Name an All-Time fighter who is tailor made to beat another All-Time fighter
Of course Tito would struggle against Mayweather.
Don King purposely avoided Pernell Whitaker in the mid-90s because he knew Tito would look bad against him and didn't want to risk his cash cow losing stock. By 1999, Sweet Pea was toast.
-
Mike Tyson vs Ken Norton I mean there's no way around it Tyson is all kinds of shit Norton hated: durable, fast, strong, quick hands, big time power...Norton wouldn't last.

Sounds like the De La Hoya fight.

Oscar had some power to deter Tito, Floyd has defence. Not scary at all.

Sorry guys but Money May beats the brakes off of Manos de Puta and Joto Trinidad.
