    Mine are 1.RJJ vs Calzaghe.as good as Joe was RJJ is the most gifted fighter I've ever seen and I wouldn't pick anyone 168 or below beat him. Jones tko 7

    2. SSM vs May/PAC. 2000 Shane was a beast and a far diff animal than the one that lost those 2 fights.his speed and power were amazing.SSM us over FM and tko 10 over PAC.

    3. ODLH vs may/PAC. Same as above but not quite convinced. His jab and his speed was really good.ODLH by us over both.

    4.Casamayor vs JMM. IMO casa was more skilled faster and he had and iron chin.not like the shot version jmm beat.casa by ud

    Roy Jones doesn't lose to anyone prime vs prime from 175 down in the history of the sport.

    Mosley would always lose to Mayweather. Remember in 2000 Floyd was faster, quicker, deadly with combinations as well and a better, more skilled boxer than Mosley. Mosley beats Pac in my opinion in his prime.

    Oscar loses to Floyd prime vs prime. Oscar's lack of a right hand would be his down fall and Floyd wouldn't fight the same way in his prime. The Mayweather who fought Gatti dominates Oscar.

    Manny beats the hell out of Oscar. 2008 Manny beats a prime Oscar. No doubt in my mind about that.

    Wright-Williams

    William's output would be significantly lowered by prime 154 Wright. I can see Winky earning an easy UD.

    Got to admire the persistent romanticism of folk sometimes.
    Both RJJ and SSM would have knocked out arguably their hardest oponents would they?

    Did they knock out every fighter in thier primes?

    What makes you think that they'd knock out a couple of opponents who between them have barely been on the canvas in nearly 100 fights?

    De La Hoya-Mayweather
    Mosley-Mayweather
    Pacquiao-Mayweather

    Prime versions of all three would have won, he caught them at the right time.

    Which guy in their prime? apparently when morales beat PAC he was past it then PAC beats him twice and of course morales didn't get any younger or better,

    Prime Mundine was when he beat Green and after that he wasn't game to fight quality opponents.

    I could be wrong, but in my opinion:
    Toney vs holyfield
    Garcia vs judah
    Myorga vs vargas
    cotto vs martinez
    and even though i hate to say it, margarito vs pacquiao

    Holmes vs Tyson would have certainly have a different fight. A lot of foremans later would have been destruction jobs if he was prime

    Yes He was badly faded, check His fight with Katsidis and that mexican bum Santa Cruz He was losing both fights easily, the Santa Cruz fight was a brutal robbery.
