    Default 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..

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yes you do that, we are eagerly waiting for your reply.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.
