    Holmes vs Louis - Finally Holmes would get more respect if he won this type of fight. Holmes UD LOUIS BY KO

    Vitali vs Fraizer - Vitali would be too much for Fraizer- Vitali Ko 7 FRAZIER BY KO MID ROUNDS

    Lewis vs Foreman- Foreman could Ko Lewis. But I really think Lewis wins a decision . Lewis UD FOREMAN 1972/74? BY KO INSIDE 3 ROUNDS

    Liston vs Wlad- If Liston catches Wlad , he ko's him , but I honestly think Wlad wins by ko. Wlad Ko 10 LISTON BY KO INSIDE 5 ROUNDS

    Johnson vs Patterson -This would be a close fight, and most likely goes the distance. Johnson SD JOHNSON BY KO MID ROUNDS

    Bowe vs Dempsey- Bowe would simply be too big .But i think Dempsey would go the distance. BoweUD DEMPSEY PRE 1923 BY KO MID ROUNDS

    Roy Jones vs Haye- the Jones that fought Ruiz would outbox and outsmart Haye. Jones Jr UD JONES JR UD

    Tua vs Arreola- Tua more durable than Arreola - Tua KO 10 TUA BY KO

    your thoughts ? And who do you think would win these fights?
    I would've liked to have seen better match ups
    HOLMES V LEWIS winner Holmes
    LISTON V FRAZIER winner Frazier
    MARCIANO V PATTERSON winner Marciano
    FOREMAN V HOLMES winner Foreman
    JOHNSON V DEMPSEY winner Dempsey
    LOUIS V TYSON winner Louis

    Just my thoughts on it.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Tyson is overrated. I wouldn't choose him for any of my dream fights.

    I haven't had an extremely good look on any of these. Not amazing matchups.

    Joe Frazier vs. Rocky Marciano
    Ali vs. Louis
    Lewis vs. Bowe
    Klitschko vs. Klitschko.
    Liston vs. Wlad would be really good. A prime Liston was a pure monster.
    Foreman vs. Marciano


    And how nobody put this one up, I don't know. It's the only fight I want to see Tyson in.

    Tyson vs. Foreman. Old Foreman or Young Foreman. Either version knocks him out cold.

    I think Tyson would beat Ali. Douglas, fighting the fight of his life against a less than best Tyson, had success with the jab, but mostly because of what he threw behind it. Tyson's whole game was based on drawing a jab, slipping it and countering with something hard, and he was very fast. Douglas maintained distance, made Tyson react to the jab, then countered with other punches. This made Tyson stand up and hesitate, and easier to hit with the jab. Ali's movement would play into Tyson's hands, let him get his forward motion rolling. He'd slip that jab and get to Ali.
    And Ali would be at a disadvantage in that event because of his poor punching technique. He had a good right hand, but there was no shoulder in his jab, and he dropped both hands when he threw uppercuts. He never in his career learned how to block a left hook. At his peak, Tyson was faster than Frazier, and a two handed puncher and he'd stop Ali.
    Ali's best chance to beat Tyson would be the Ali that fought Foreman. Frustrating Tyson and tying him up, potshotting him with right hands. Tyson didn't like to fight much inside and didn't know how to deal with a guy trying to wrap him up.

    Tyson didn't have the heart to last past round eight with a good fighter. Ali would last. Ali would frustrate him. His mobility is a sure issue for Tyson. Nobody Tyson ever fought was as much of a dancer as Ali was.

    Oliver McCall v Ray Mercer would have been insanely abusive
    Ike Ibeabuchi vs Vitali Klitscho
    Chris Byrd vs Bruce Seldon....call me nuts. I think that would be fun.

    Now that you bring up Ibeabuchi, I think it'd be entertaining to see Ibeabuchi square off with Evander Holyfield.

    Also, Rocky Marciano vs. George Chuvalo.
