    Middleweight: Marvin Hagler vs Jake LaMotta - 15 rounds
    Super Featherweight: Marco Antonio Barrera vs Julio Cesar Chavez - 12 rounds
    Lightweight: Roberto Duran vs Manny Pacquiao - 12 rounds

    Main Event
    Heavyweight: Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson - 12 rounds

    I wanted to put Robinson vs Duran at 147 but I have him against Pac instead because they're my number 1 and 2 favourite fighters

    Another one I'd like to see.

    An all-heavyweight card :

    Evander Holyfield v Joe Frazier
    15 rounds

    Larry Holmes v Riddick Bowe
    15 rounds

    Max Baer v Ingemar Johansson
    10 rounds

    Tony Galento v Bob Satterfield
    8 rounds


    (Ron Stander and Marion Wilson will be on standby to fight a 4- or 6-round filler bout if Satterfield-Galento and Baer-Johansson finish a bit quick)

    IMHO it is the single greatest fantasy match up to be made.

    Definite possibility that. Reid could really crack but seeing as Tito loved going down early in fights (usually 2nd round at 147) I can definitely see Jackson getting the better of a shootout.

    I probably lean towards 'The Hawk' but can see the reverse as well. How could you not in a matchup like this?

    All these are pick 'em fights for me. Especially the Tito vs Jackson and Patterson vs Charles.

    Tito was just as big as Jackson, and both could hurt the other. There's a temptation to write Trinidad off in this, but that's a mistake; Jackson had the same stalking style, going backwards very rarely. It would be a matter of who imposed their will on the other, and Tito had a hell of alot of determination and willpower. I wouldn't be surprised at any outcome in this one.

    Patterson and Charles is interesting because both were fast-handed guys who could box or slug. Patterson has a power advantage while Charles is probably a bit smarter and more adaptable. Patterson had the habit of slugging when it wasn't necessary or wasn't in his best interest. This is a high-level shootout that could get dramatic at any point.
