    Heavyweight = Mike Tyson--Prime Foreman slower then Tyson but hit harderwould serve him well against the big guys of today

    Cruiserweight = Evander Holyfield
    Light Heavyweight = Michael Spinks
    Super Middleweight = Nigel Benn
    Middleweight = Julian Jackson--A fight I think would be good is McClellen Vs Pavlik....IMO Kelly starches Julian

    Jr Middleweight = Terry Norris-- Mike McCallum

    Welterweight = Thomas Hearns or Sugar Ray Robinson can't decide--Hearns he fits in both catagories...a tall lany boxer like Williams (who I think Tommy Starches inside of 5)...and a brawler/slugger with power like Cotto and Cintron

    Jr Welterweight = Aaron Pryor--IMO Hatton is still the man at 140 but Pryor would beat him up severly in a toe to toe fight

    Lightweight = Pernell Whitaker--Duran...Would like to see How the Baby Bull would do in there with him


    Super Featherweight = Julio Cesar Chavez--Manny and Chavez would be one of the most exciting fights ever

    Featherweight = Salvador Sanchez
    Super Bantamweight = Wilfredo Gomez
    Bantamweight = Ruben Olivares
    Super Flyweight = Khaosai Galaxy
    Flyweight = Pancho Villa
    Jr Flyweight = Michael Carbajal
    Minimumweight = Ricardo Lopez
    Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!

    I'd like to revive some of the great MW and LHW's of days past, especially the LHW's...MW Robinson, Zale, Fulmer, Hagler, Monzon, LHWs Billy Conn, Tommy Loughran, Bob Foster, and Archie Moore. Those divisions used to be so exciting. I wish Roy Jones had fought in a better era for SMW and LHW. Wouldn't it have been great to see Roy fight Foster, Moore, or Conn? He probably wins two of those three, but I would love to see what Roy would have done against Foster's reach and power and Conn's speed and skill.

    Fighting the likes of Rafael, Israel or Hasegawa....
    Possibly having Mijares & Montiel move up and face him there...
    Wow...
    Rafael vs. Jofre at 118....

    ...and the winner fights Vasquez

    Sounds incredible. The 'Golden Bantam' is a true legend.

    I think he, ROy Jones Jr, is way too fast for Conn. A guy who realies on his speed is in big trouble when he fighitng somebody much faster than him. I think Moore would have gone more like Jones-Toney, who at that time was as good as Moore IMO, and then Foster, its hard to say because Roy had that ability to dominate anyone regardless of how good they were, but Foster was intelligent and would make this a close fight, another guy is Ezzard Charles, but I think he loses for similar reasons as Conn, but its a closer fight. I would have liked to have seen the Zale's, Robinson's, Monson's, Hagler's back in the early 90's at MW, but right now its all about the ww's and i would love to see Robinson, Duran, Leonard, Hearns all come back from that category, I would love to see Carbajal fight Calderon, PAcquaio fight Pep, Marquez or Vazquez fight Wilfredo Gomez or Azumah Nelson. A few years ago it would have been interesting to throw 130 Mayweather in the MOrrales, Barrera, Pacquaio Mix.

    I wish we'd know on Ike,he was a really streaky fighter,I think it would have taken him getting and holding a belt to know who he really was.He beat top notch opponents,but then he'd turn around and look very ordinary against lesser opposition.
    So much potential just thrown away
