Re: Some mythical matchups.
Nunn vs. Ward = I think Michael Nunn is better P4P, but his best weight wasn't Super Middleweight. So im going with Andre Ward by decision.
Vitaly vs. Holmes = Larry Holmes head to head is one of the best Heavyweight's of all time. To me Vitali Klitschko is just good but is also overrated by many boxing fans. As he ever really had a defining win ? i can't see him dealing with Holmes's speed/technique/jab. Larry Holmes by UD no question.
"Chocolatito" Gonzalez vs. "Finito" Lopez = I've seen alot of Lopez but not a whole lot of Gonzalez, but from what i have seen of Gonzalez. I don't see him really challenging the amazingly skilled Ricardo Lopez, who would bust him up with his amazing counter puching. I see a stoppage win for Lopez in the 10th round.
Valero vs. Escalera = I've only seen Escalera in the Arguello fights, and its been ages since i've seen those fights. From what i can remember he was a very tough fighter, but would he be able to take Valero's awesome power ? i don't know its hard to tell Valero was starting to show real promise in the DeMarco fight, but i didn't see him against enough elite opposition so im going to sit on the fence on this one.
Hopkins vs. Saad Muhammad = As much as i love Matthew Saad Muhammad, i can see B-Hop winning this one on points. Matthew Saad Muhammad was tough as nails and did beat a very good skilled boxer like Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. But i just see B-Hop being too skillful for the exciting slugger Muhammad.
But then again B-Hop was 40+ when he done his best work at Light Heavyweight, so could he hold out against the overly tough Matthew Saad Muhammad ? im going with B-Hop in a tough UD but it wouldn't suprise me in Matthew Saad Muhammad pulled it out.
Wilfred Benitez vs. Pacquiao = This would be a repeat of the JMM fight, except there's no dramatic knockdowns. Benitez is far too good defensively and skilled, and he should win a UD if the judges see it the sameway.
Izzy vs. Gomez = I think Wilfredo Gomez is a level above Vasquez, he wasn't only a power puncher. He had amazing footwork and boxing skills, i see a stoppage win for Gomez in the 8th.
JMM vs. Arguello = Arguello sometimes struggled with movement and boxers, he was clealy outboxed by Vilomar Fernandez, he also had problems with Ruben Castillo until he scored and come from behind KO.
JMM has very good footwork and can box a smart fight for 12 rounds, he should win a decision. But he will have to be extremely cautious of Arguello's power especially that right hand. I can see JMM having some hairy moments and maybe visiting the canvas, but i see him surviving those moments and being able to keep it together to win a decision.
Pavlik vs. Antuofermo = Pavlik would probably win this one on cuts, both tough guys who like to bring it. But as already mentioned Kelly Pavlik can box and has better technical skills like his jab and right hand. I see Kelly Pavlik winning on cuts at about the 9th round.
Spinks vs. Calzaghe = Very easy fight for me to call, Joe Calzaghe wasn't at his best at Light Heayweight, he also gets hit far too much. Michael Spinks has far too much size and power and would KO Calzaghe by the middle rounds, just see Spinks's amazing KO over Marvin Johnson or his stoppage over Yaqui Lopez as proof of his power.
Pryor vs. Bradley = Again a very easy fight to call, Aaron Pryor is just on another level to Timothy Bradley. Aaron Pryor would be far too strong and aggressive for Timothy Bradley. Just see how bad Timothy Bradley looked vs Pacquiao in those early rounds with the pressure. He looked ready to go at any minute, so how would he deal with one of the best Jr Welterweights of all time aswell as one of the most aggressive fighters of all time ? lets also not forget Aaron Pryor's underrated boxing skills, Aaron Pryor by stoppage in the 7th round.
