    Mike at his absolute best, fighting to his full capabilities, 100% motivated and focused vs the K Bros.

    What do you think would have happened mate?

    I think he could run Wlad out of the ring. Brewster really messed him when he went to the body and Tyson was a murderous body puncher.

    But against Vitali I feel he is the much better head to head guy as far as pitting him against the elite heavies of the past. I'd legitimately favour Tyson but it's not something I'm comfortable with, not as much as I am saying he'd probably have Wlad gone by the 7th or so.

    You?

    Calzaghe - at SMW, to put everyone in their place. then to have the yanks crying that "ward wasn't that good to begin with"

    Kostya tszyu - at LWW. there's a lot of good fighters in that division so it would be worth it to bring him back. he'd prove to be the best of the lot like last time.

    third one, Hmmmm....

    it's got to be Tito for me at WW. it would of been Naz, but he would rule that division with ease. there really isn't much competition at FW.

    I remember a boxing writer (Ivan Goldman if I'm not mistaken) who predicted down the road, Oscar and Lopez would have a series from 147 and beyond.

    He knew how good the guy is. Too bad his lax training method cut his career short.

    Thanks for the reply mate.

    I pretty much agree with you.

    I'm certain he could take Wlad out.

    Vitali is a different matter altogether. I think if Mike was focused and didn't get frustrated, because I think Vitali would have frustrated him, then I can envisage a tough points win.

    Hi mate,

    Yeah fair enough. I could envisage Vitali beating Mike too, but if I had a gun to my head, I'd have to pick Mike. I've no doubts whatsoever with regards to Wlad though

    Do you think Vitali would have worn Mike down?

    Going off topic, how do you think the K Bros would have done against a peak Holmes?

    Thanks.

    I think I jumped the gun on Hopkins as I just wanted the MW division to be stacked. He wasn`t an exciting fighter and I didn`t really enjoy his fights. So I`ll swap him with Iron Mike for pure excitement alone.
