    I'd like to see Dempsey / Marciano. Something tells me it would be like the trenches in World War 1, whoever won.

    Golovkin v Ketchel is a good one ^ It would be nice to see what Gennady would do when faced with a real savage in the ring.

    Ali - Tyson
    Duran - Mosley (135)
    SRL - Mayweather Jr
    Hagler - GGG
    Hearns - Benn

    For me, all the older guys win.
