    I think prime Duran at 135 would be the one that I'd lose a bit of sleep over.

    Interesting no one has said Ali. Just saying! Wouldn't be my choice either though.

    I'd be a LHW, so it'd be RJ. The guy was almost literally untouchable at his peak, save for Griffin who just seemed to have him figured out for the 1st 5 rds of the 1st fight. And even he got dealt with in the end of that one, and definitely in the rematch.

    Seeing as im a natural Heavy... i would say someone like Vitali.
    At least with Tyson youd be taken out rather quickly, with Vitali it would be a long lasting beating for as long as my body would holdup.

    I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.
    - Max Baer

    I always liked that quote. But I think the best answer is that Tyson that fought Spinks. Seemed like all the other fighters in history wanted to beat you, maybe knock you out. Tyson in those days wanted to hurt you on a level that almost seemed like it should be against the rules.

    In my weight Id be a LHW and a fight with Roy Jones would haunt me till the day of the fight. Not only can he embarrass you in front of everyone making you miss looking like a caveman, and taunting you. He can separate you from your senses in front of everyone. As far as the current LHW's probably Adonis Stevenson. High risk low reward, crazy physique and good knockout power

    Charlie Zelenoff.

    His punching power is a reported 4500psi.

    In comparison Shavers only hit 1600 psi.
