Mosley by TKO, his chin was too good and he would take Corrales' shots but Diego wouldn't be able to do the same
Trindad by SD, it would be a lot closer than most would think, IMO Trinidad had more pop and still had speed combine that with Tito's overall better boxing ability and variety of punches and the only reason i say Pavlik would make it competitive is because his size, his chin, and his power
IMO Lopez was just as fast, and was just as good of a strategist as Calderon add in that he had a lot more power (one punch KO power when he would want) and i say that he'd corner Calderon in the later rounds finally stopping him
Duran would take his share of shots and it would be competitive, but if Diaz could wobble Marquez at 135 IMO Duran would have thrashed him and brutally stopped him later on
Sweet Pea v Hearns @ 147 - Tommy Hearns KO
Pryor vs Pacman @ 140 - Hardest one to predict but I think Pacman would counter and be too fast for Pryors Wild Style.
Mosley v Pbf @ 135 - Floyd Mayweather UD.
RJJ vs Eubank @ 168 - Roy Jones would win this comfortably and depending on what mood he was in maybe even stop Eubank
holyfield v spinks @ 190 - Holyfield would beat Spinks to a pulp IMO KO within 8 or 9 rounds.
Are you kidding ? theres no way in hell JMM would beat Roberto Duran at Lightweight, i love JMM he's one of my all time favorites. But you have to be a big time Roberto Duran hater, to believe that.
JMM is really an overeachiver at Lightweight, in truth he's not a legit Lightweight. Its only because he is so damn good, that he was able to beat some very good Lightweights in Diaz, Casamayor.
Sweet Pea v Hearns @ 147 = Two of my favorites, but Tommy Hearns would be too big. This would be a repeat of Wilfredo Benitez vs Tommy Hearns.
Pryor vs Pacman @ 140 = Undecided.
Mosley v Pbf @ 135 = Floyd Mayweather Jr by close decision.
RJJ vs Eubank @ 168 = RJJ wide UD win.
holyfield v spinks @ 190 = Michael Spinks is very underrated, he beat some damn good fighters at Light Heavyweight. And he wasn't really a Heavyweight, he was an overachiever at Heavyweight. At Light Heavyweight he was one of the best, i take Michael Spinks to beat a green Evander Holyfield at Cruiserweight.
Why does everyone think Michael Spinks would get dominated ? it seems like most of you guys, haven't seen much of Michael Spinks. And base it only on the Mike Tyson loss. When really he was an overachiever at Heavyweight, he wasn't a legit Heavyweight.
At Light Heavyweight he beat fighters like Marvin Johnson, Yaqui Lopez, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, ETC. Those are the whos/who of the Light Heavyweight division.
i didn't base it on the Tyson fight, i based it on Spinks' best weight being Light Heavyweight and Holyfield being arguably the best Cruiserweight of all time, Holyfield always had great stamina (even at HW) he had fast hands, and his power was crazy at Cruiserweight, so honestly i think Holyfield (being a more aggressive fighter at that weight) would have overwhelmed Spinks and ended it in the later rounds
Sweet Pea v Hearns @ 147 --- Hearns gasses when he can't hit him, Sweat Pea stops him 10or11 (yep, stops him)...Really bad style for Hearns to face imo...
Pryor vs Pacman @ 140 --- Pac more fundamentally sound, faster. Decision...Problem with this comparison is quality of opposition, while I know "The Hawk" was avoided, Arguello is the only real elite that Pryor beat (and Alexis was really a 130lbs-er)...So based on the caliber of opposition I have to go with Manny.
Mosley v Pbf @ 135 --- PBF, always had better fundamentals than Mosley and Shane has no speed advantage...PBF by decision.
RJJ vs Eubank @ 168 --- RJJ decision as Roy's speed determines the outcome...but
holyfield v spinks @ 190---- I like Mike in this one simply because of high work rate and angles while power is basically equal at this weight. I believe Spinks outboxes Evander...
Michael Spinks was a very big Light Heavyweight though, so his attributes would of been no different at Cruiserweight. Dwight Muhammad Qawi was a great pressure fighter, he got beat handily. And that was a better version than the one Evander Holyfield fought. Remember Evander Holyfield was green at Cruiserweight, Michael Spinks was also great at using angles and had one punch KO power, see his fight vs Marvin Johnson.
