    This is a forum that loves to discuss hypothetical match-ups involving fighters of the past and present. What fantasy fight between two "great" fighters would result in the quickest bout then? To keep it interesting, let's avoid match-ups involving fighters from different weight classes. Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr is not a valid contribution. The two fighters must be of the same weight division and we will avoid bringing shopworn or green fighters into the discussion. Both combatants are healthy, primed and firing on all cylinders.

    As a quick example, I personally think George Foreman would have made rather short work of Wladimir Klitschko.

    That's a good shout, Reznick. Patterson is undersized and too fragile to wade through George Foreman's heavy artillery. This would be quicker than the first Ingemar Johansson bout.

    The fight would be over, by the end of the third imo.

    Sorry. My choice doesn't fit the criteria as Khan isn't a great fighter.
