    It would be Camacho for me and I would not party, drink, smoke, or do any drugs. I would have destroyed everyone at 130 and moved up and do the same at 135 until I get hit with those bombs from Rosario and then I would do drugs.

    If I had started boxing when John Ruiz stepfather wanted me to join, I believe I could have gone far. Definitely winning a NABF and USBA titles. I was fast handed and hit very hard. Well, that is what a lot of the street fight victims told me weeks later. Oh, why I did not join, my step father was a mentally and physically abusive man and thought if I learned I would possibly attack him. Damn, I am 5'10 1/2 and could have made FW back then. I would been a giant like Genero Hernandez.

    Potentially, you must have incredible hand speed, not to mention being difficult, as a southpaw.

    Ok if we're talking about real possibilities here, never been in a fight but I've sparred a lot, I'm a cw with fast hands but weak power, good chin, porous defense, decent reflexes, good balance and flexibility but slow on my feet, and my stamina is **** and I totally gas after 5 rounds, 6 tops (stamina is the main reason I never tried the amateurs), I try to be an outboxer and avoid brawling but I cant since im slow on my feet, fortunately my chin is quite solid and saves me from major embarrasment, not sure which boxer I resemble, can anybody tell me? :huh

    All the finesse of Rocky Graziano in a phone booth, SC. Either I'd get him or he'd get me.

    Another honest man, with a clear-eyed appraisal.

    No pro comes to mind that most closely fits your description, l

    For the past 3, 4 years or so, I've always wanted to, at the very least, spar against Alexander Dimitrenko. Just to see.

    Aside from reading Dimitrenko's name on the web, DD, know nothing about him. It would be like me saying I do a great imitation of Alexander Hamilton.

    We would have some epic sparring sessions. Also a cruiser, I have long arms, what little power I have gets smothered pretty quickly, and a pretty solid chin with decent defense.

    He's a big, tall, heavyweight. Not much power, not much speed, not much stamina, not much heart, etc.

    And I've got some decent skills. :lol: So, I'd be curious just to see if I could hold my own against somebody that big, who's not that powerful, not that fast, etc. That's been an itch I've been wanting to scratch for awhile.
