Lyle's, Pick'em Hypothetical Fights

[jdonaher1]

Tommy Hearns-Shane Mosely 147 - I got to go with Tommy. If Shane had troubles with Forrest's size and jab he would get past Hearns.

Salvador Sanchez-Julio Cesar Chavez 130/135 - Hard to say since Sanchez only fought at 126. Close fight at 130 but at 135 I gotta go Chavez

Mike Tyson-Riddick Bowe - Prime Tyson destroys Bowe. Bowe got hit way to often in those 3 fights with Evander. Bowe beats the sloppier Tyson (post prision) easliy

Roberto Duran-Alexis Arguello 135 - Great fight but I only see Benny Leonard and Sweet Pea beating Duran at Lightweight.

Aaron Pryor - Pernell Whittaker 140 - I gotta go Sweet Pea all the way in this one.

Oscar De la Hoya - Vernon Forrest 147 - I think Vernon is a tuff out for any top Welter in the last 30 years. He's ahard style to crack but I think Oscar can do enough to beat him. Forrest had troubles with Mayorga and Oscar destroyed him.

Floyd Patterson-Bob Foster 175 - Not even close, Bob KO's "chinny chin chin" Patterson easily.

Frank Bruno - Donovan Ruddock - This will be like Lewis-Bruno. Bruno has moments but Razor gets him out of there in the late rounds.

Ken Norton - Evander Holyfield:

Ken Norton had a tricky style and done well against boxers, Evander Holyfield may have his moments with his superior movement. But if Larry Holmes, Muhammad Ali, Jimmy Young, movement didn't trouble Ken Norton that much, then i can't see Evander Holyfield doing better.

Ken Norton has the power advantage and his style may of been, a bit too tricky for Evander Holyfield. But i can't really tell all i know is that it would of 100 percent, gone the distance.


Joe Fazier - Riddick Bowe:

Simple maths here Riddick Bowe is 6'5, 81 inch reach, prime weight 230 pounds. Joe Frazier is 5'11, 73 inch reach, prime weight 205 pounds. Riddick Bowe is simply too big for Joe Frazier, Riddick Bowe by TKO round about the 8th.



Jersey Joe Walcott - James Toney (190-210):

Honestly haven't seen that much of Jersey Joe Walcott, the fights i have seen of his he looks like a very skilled crafty fighter. But so is James Toney, it would probably be a chess match could go either way.

Good picks ICB, but may I remind you that Joe Frazier took a beating from the bigger man in Ali and still won his fair share of rounds. Also, Bowe did get rocked by a much lighter puncher in Evander Holyfield.
