You can bring back any fighter from history into today's boxing scene

Ali would be my obvious first choice.

But Hagler/Hearns/Duran/ Leonard, would be awesome to see any of those fighters in today's scene.

 

Damn, now I know why you hate Cotton, didn't know you had a man crush on the metro***ual.

Cotton absolutely brutalized and made him quit boxing forever. Was something truly to behold.

If he had as much GUTS as Cotton, he'd of continue to find success after that beating.

Not everyone has the heart of a champion like Cotton though.

 

Wilfred(o) Benítez.

 

Wilfredo Gomez?

 

:good

Great choice....the guy fought at 175 in his prime and usually gave away 40-50 pounds and STILL ko'd them. Most white boxers stayed far away from him....Jack Johnson avoided him like the plague.

 

Wilfred Benitez. Wilfredo Gomez.

 

Sure, my fault I meant wilfred.

 

László Papp. He never had a shot at the world title thanks to the Hungarian socialist government. I would like to see how the three-time Olympic gold medalist fares against today's fighers.

 

Roy Jones so that he would KO Golovkin, have one of the best fights of all time vs Ward, move up to 175 and KO Kovalev and Beterbiev, and beat Wilder at HW before dropping to CW to beat an aged Lebedev and get 'revenge' for a fight from a past life

 

Probably De la Hoya, Barrera, Morales and Marquez. These guys are he reason I love boxing. Would like to see a prime Mosley too.

 

So he would KO Richar Abril, then proceed to beat Drozd and Usyk?

Perhaps challenge Wladimir Klitschko as well? :think

 

LHW Evander Holyfield

 

Prime Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko, and a clean non slurring prime James Toney

 

Lennox Lewis would be a force in today's HW division as well. He would in any era really.

 

I am a huge Roy fan, but you make that sound a little too easy.
