Dream Fights

[Pavlik]

Always up for a list...

RJJ vs. Dariusz - Many moons ago I was young & naive and you can say a bit delusional. Because I actually thought Dariusz would beat RJJ. Now that I'm older and have learned more about the sport and see it without my "fanboy" goggles I can say RJJ would have beaten Dariusz. I don't think it woud have been an easy task for RJJ as some people with whom I discussed this with made it out to be. Nonetheless I can say that I was wrong.

PBF vs. Cepillo - This fight at 130 would have been a classic. Both guys technically sound and tactical with their styles. Cepillo would rough up PBF and I think he loses a point somewhere in the late stages of the fight. PBF wins a close dirty & hard fought fight.

JMM vs. Naz - It's a known fact that Naz turned down the fight. Whatever events took place AFTER the initial offer is all part of the Naz sideshow. Naz was an outstanding fighter in his time, fearless & fierce. JMM was and is still today an elite fighter who is a mastermind in the ring. He picks opponents apart like nobodies business. Early Naz would try to impose his style but would fail JMM would counter and catch Naz from various angles. He would work the body and slow Naz down. Naz would try to bait JMM to trade and would succeed. Naz's hand speed would give him the advantage and would look better in those exchanges. JMM would continue to box and score points using his ring generalship. For my likings JMM would have decisioned Naz.

Arguello vs. Pac - Early on Pac has his moments and wins some of the early rounds by using his aggression. Arguello settles in mid-way and starts to connect with his straight right. Late in the fight Pac catches Arguello with a big shot and rattles him. They trade shots and Arguello responds dropping Pac with picture perfect right hand. Pac gets up only to be dropped again and counted out.

No disrespect to the Hermoso but PAC took flush shots from guys like Cotto and Margarito bigger punchers than Alexis. I don't see Arguello stopping Pacquiao. Peace bro
I also think Pacquiao has more power than Arguello so it is also possible that PAC might be the one scoring a stoppage here.

Whoa! wait a minute...
Tony a harder puncher then a guy nicknamed "The Explosive Thin Man"?
I have to strongly disagree with that one. There is nothing you could tell me that would lead me to believe Tonys a harder puncher then Alexis. Just off the top of my head I know Alexis has a bigger TKO percentage. I can't think of a single opponent that Tony has stopped with a single punch the way Alexis did to various opponents.
Cotto I can see an arguement there as Cotto has a higher TKO percentage and has one punch stoppages.

If you want to say that Pac took shots from Cotto & Tony.
Keep in mind Tony hurt Pac with that body shot in the 7th rd I believe.
Also JMM has been able to rattle Pac, would you not agree that Alexis hits harder then JMM?

The only fights of Alexis I saw was with vs Pryor 1/2 and Andy Ganigan/ Mancini. I believe you're right I still stand my ground that PAC can beat him though

Arguello Vs Bazooka Gomez would have been insane, wouldn't have lasted 3 rnds though lol, IMO Arguello would have taken it due to his superior counter punching and long reach
