    Default Dream heavyweight fights

    Style wise which past or present heavyweight fighters would make great entertaining and enthralling contests.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Would live to see The Klits in with any past great, Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Fraizer, Lewis. See how good they really are

    Style wise Vitali v George Foreman and Wlad v Evander Holyfield

    I'm going to try and just use a fighter 1 time because otherwise I'd list 1,000 fights and wouldn't be able to get your opinions on them.

    'Iron' Mike Tyson vs Riddick 'Big Daddy' Bowe - Good style matchup and around the time Mike got released from prison it would have been a very even match

    Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield vs Ron Lyle - 2 tough sons a bitches prime for prime it would have been a war in the ring!

    Michael 'MM' Moorer vs Andrew Golota - a boxer/puncher with some confidence problems vs a solid technical boxer with very little mental toughness

    'The Acorn' Earnie Shavers vs David 'The Terminator' Tua 2 huge punchers, 2 smallish heavyweights, would it even last 4 rounds?

    'Relentless' Lamon Brewster vs Donovan 'Razor' Ruddock power vs power, stamina and a chin vs a guy who was hit or miss

    'The White Wolf' Sergei Lyakhovich vs Tommy 'The Duke' Morrison a good solid boxer vs a slugger

    Lennox Lewis vs 'The Easton Assassin' Larry Holmes - 2 pugilist specialists who are both consistently overshadowed by Mike Tyson (but they were greater).

    'Dr. Ironfist' Vitali Klitschko vs 'The President' Ike Ibeabuchi - I picked this matchup based on the hypothetical greatness of each guy who you could argue missed their primes due to injury (or brain dysfunction)

    'Dr. Steel Hammer' Wladimir Klitschko vs 'Terrible' Tim Witherspoon - The current heavyweight champ vs a guy who fought Larry Holmes (a fighter much like Wlad) tooth and nail!

    'Smokin' Joe Frazier vs 'Black Heracles' Ken Norton - Pressure fighter vs a very strong guy who was not known for his chin.

    'The Brockton Blockbuster' Rocky Marciano vs Floyd Patterson This fight almost happened, prime for prime would have been a hell of a scrap.

    'The Brown Bomber' Joe Louis vs 'Manassa Mauler' Jack Dempsey A cold calculating stalk you down power puncher vs a wild haymaker throwing frothing at the mouth tiger of a fighter

    'Big' George Foreman vs Nicolay Valuev....it would be fun...it would

    Michael 'Dynamite' Dokes vs Chris 'Rapid Fire' Byrd two of the best defensive fighters of their era...who would win between them

    Charles 'Sonny' Liston vs 'Smokin' Bert Cooper Power vs power, similar sized heavyweights

    Shannon 'The Cannon' Briggs vs 'The Nigerian Nightmare' Sam Peter - they talked about fighting but never got around to it. Would have been a hell of a scrap at one point in time.

    'Iron' Mike Tyson vs Riddick 'Big Daddy' Bowe - prime for prime I pick Tyson, but if we're going 90's I'd take Bowe.

    Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield vs Ron Lyle - Holyfield by TKO

    Michael 'MM' Moorer vs Andrew Golota - Moorer by KO

    'The Acorn' Earnie Shavers vs David 'The Terminator' Tua - Tua by BRUTAL ko

    'Relentless' Lamon Brewster vs Donovan 'Razor' Ruddock - Razor Ruddock

    'The White Wolf' Sergei Lyakhovich vs Tommy 'The Duke' Morrison - Morrison

    Lennox Lewis vs 'The Easton Assassin' Larry Holmes - That's a hard one for me. I'll go with Holmes in a very close decision, won through his superior jab

    'Dr. Ironfist' Vitali Klitschko vs 'The President' Ike Ibeabuchi - Vitali all day

    'Dr. Steel Hammer' Wladimir Klitschko vs 'Terrible' Tim Witherspoon - Wlad all day

    'Smokin' Joe Frazier vs 'Black Heracles' Ken Norton - Joe Frazier for sure

    'The Brockton Blockbuster' Rocky Marciano vs Floyd Patterson - I'll go with Marciano but I think Patterson has a much better chance than people would give him credit for

    'The Brown Bomber' Joe Louis vs 'Manassa Mauler' Jack Dempsey - Louis by brutal smashing

    'Big' George Foreman vs Nicolay Valuev - Foreman

    Michael 'Dynamite' Dokes vs Chris 'Rapid Fire' Byrd - Byrd

    Charles 'Sonny' Liston vs 'Smokin' Bert Cooper - Liston

    Shannon 'The Cannon' Briggs vs 'The Nigerian Nightmare' Sam Peter - Briggs

    'Iron' Mike Tyson vs Riddick 'Big Daddy' Bowe - Gotta go Tyson. Bowe liked the inside, layed in at times, and Tysons speed and shift would eat that up

    Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield vs Ron Lyle - Holyfield tko late

    Michael 'MM' Moorer vs Andrew Golota - Holyshit call the funny farm and get out the straight jackets These fellas had "baggage" to say the least. But, Moorer also had some composure at best, handspeed. Survives a shake up but wins over 12.

    'The Acorn' Earnie Shavers vs David 'The Terminator' Tua I go Shavers. Tua gets sucked into loading up and power for power Shavers is above.

    'Relentless' Lamon Brewster vs Donovan 'Razor' Ruddock Hmm. Toughie. Best for best, pure focus. Just see Brewster as more well rounded, more complete and avoids Ruddocks predictable, repeat delivery.

    'The White Wolf' Sergei Lyakhovich vs Tommy 'The Duke' Morrison Tommy KO

    Lennox Lewis vs 'The Easton Assassin' Larry Holmes - Lennox, at best w/ jab and two handed power as the equalizer. I will change my mind 2 minutes to this being posted

    'Dr. Ironfist' Vitali Klitschko vs 'The President' Ike Ibeabuchi - Go Vitali. Ike had 2 superb showings and even more mystique. And yes, it was his fault. Vitali is a proven package, and just as tough.

    'Dr. Steel Hammer' Wladimir Klitschko vs 'Terrible' Tim Witherspoon - Tim could knock out grazing cattle with that right and had a helter-skelter career but he ain't jabbing or boxing with Wlad. Fa'getabout it.

    'Smokin' Joe Frazier vs 'Black Heracles' Ken Norton - Frazier

    'The Brockton Blockbuster' Rocky Marciano vs Floyd Patterson Hmm. Marciano prevails late after looking silly early, and cut up.

    'The Brown Bomber' Joe Louis vs 'Manassa Mauler' Jack Dempsey Louis was so damn calculating and wiser than given credit for. He gets off the deck and thrashes Jack midway.

    'Big' George Foreman vs Nicolay Valuev Big George turns him over his knee and makes him write "I apologize for being Heavyweight Champion" on a chalk board a few hundred times.

    Michael 'Dynamite' Dokes vs Chris 'Rapid Fire' Byrd Uh man, great hands all around. Byrd also had killer feet and an underlining tough guy mentality. He did, I swear

    Charles 'Sonny' Liston vs 'Smokin' Bert Cooper Sorry Bert...Liston off jab and downward power.

    Shannon 'The Cannon' Briggs vs 'The Nigerian Nightmare' Sam Peter - I go Peter. Better hands, solid power and much much more proven when in deep
    Great ones bud...I've changed my mind on Lewis-Holmes and back again since. Good head scratchers here!
