    What would be your dream biggest fight of all time, if it could've been made, between boxers past or present. For me it would have to be Muhammad Ali in his Prime vs Mike Tyson in his Prime. The PPV's numbers would hit about 10 million.

    Ray Robinson v Thomas Hearns at 154 would be my dream fight.

    Hmmm, just one?

    Love to have seen Sugar vs Sugar, Robinson vs Leonard. Expect Robinson to take it but would be a great fight.

    Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather at 130 in 2005.

    Floyd didn't have to leave 130 when he did. He wasn't having trouble making the weight.

    27-0 at the weight, he's the GOAT of 130.

    He wanted to make way bigger paydays, was a really good choice going up.

    Morales and Pacquiao were at 130 by the time 2005 rolled around.

    It would have been awesome if Floyd stayed until they were ready to move up.

    Leonard vs. Trinidad (WW)

    Instead of fighting PPV fights?

    He started PPV's in 2005 and that was the best choice.

    He couldn't make 130 anymore by the time 2004-2005 rolled around, he even said himself.

    He said he had to make lightweight at 2003-2004.

    He would have had to kill himself to make SFW, that would have been dumb.

    There used to be a website called dreamfights, maybe some of you old timers remember it. Just a text based simulation that was pretty funny...There's a computer game called Title Bout that is good for running simulations of these greats too. I've bought it for years and get into it every once in a while.

    Tyson-Ali would have to be my bet but there's 100's more I could probably be just as happy with.
