Let's stick to four boxers.

Mine is, under a 1960s rule set:

160lbs: Hagler, Tiger, Valdez and Toney.

Would be very interesting!

Tiger and Hagler?
Don't really think that match up is that exciting.

2 counter punchers, so it will probably become a chess match

Welterweight- Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jose Napoles, Armstrong.

Would maybe substitute Armstrong for Gavilan, Griffith, Walker or Lewis.

Maybe I like chess matches.

The only thing is, with Armstrong and Napoles they were both truly great fighters who would undoubtedly come off on the shitty end of this one because they were a bit small for welterweights. You get Armstrong down at 135 or lower (130lbs peak in my opinion) and he tears the place up, same with Napoles at 140lbs. A bit like putting Dick Tiger and Mickey Walker in there with some top ten all-time light heavyweights.

fly-ish.. jimmy wilde , jung koo chang, ricardo lopez , myung-woo yuh

True. I think Napoles size wouldn't be too much of a disadvantage. Armstrong's would be. Would still be awesome seeing a fantasy era with them 4 in it. Was thinking about putting Hearns in, but his chin would probably not survive fighting Robinson at WW or Leonard (again).

I suppose but for some reason I think he fits more than at mw.

Maybe Benitez would have been a better choice instead.

I thought you might be scared to throw Chandler in there...He would own that division!

Loughran

Saad Muhammad
Harold Johnson

Flyweight.

Antonio Avelar, Brian Viloria, Pancho Villa and Pascual Perez. Avelar vs. Viloria would be brilliant.

orriray59 · 01-26-2013, 10:11 AM

Might seem like some strange picks to many of you, but fuck it.

Heavyweight: David Haye, Jersey Joe Walcott, Jack Dempsey and Floyd Patterson.

I hope you're just trolling me and not serious!

It would be but a bit harsh putting the latter two guys in there

Chuck Efren Torres and Charlie Magri in and you've got yourself a deal
