    That's not called "destroying" in boxing, that's called "dominating". And '64 to '67 Ali mostly fought guys that would now be called Cruiserweights and unfit to be challengers. Other than the 2 Liston bouts "including the phantom punch one" how do you compare these guys quality with the Klit brothers? :blood

    Lewis - (Rahman II version)
    Willie Pep ( just to see him win a round against mayweather without throwing a single pumch) to see him show mayweather the art of Defense
    Joe louis - Yess he would beat both Kilts
    Bob Fitzimmons - Just to see his one punch body shot take out Vlad weighting 168 pounds
    Prime Mike Tyson 1990

    Leonard - Always found ways to win
    De La Hoya - Guy would fight anyone
    Whitaker - Defensive Genius him and Floyd would be a chessmatch
    Hagler - put some life in that division other than Martinez
    Duran - who wouldnt want to see a 5'7 little man beat up on MW/SMW and win
    Tyson - Bring back the drama and excitment back to the division
    Ali - The Greatest
    Robinson -What a talent
    Jones Jr - (early to mid 90s version) - Probably my fav from the 90s outside Tyson guy was just so fast and exciting
    Lewis - Greatest European Fighter of all time (atleast to me) that beat everyone he faced and always delivered the goods

    Also if we could just have a bit more villains :D (outside Mayweather) in boxing it would make things interesting guys like Toney, and Vargas (DLH version)
