    I don't think so.. This guy was more about posting things like James Tillis vs Muhammad Ali and asking people how they think it would go. stuff like that.

    It’s hard to call it ridiculous if it legitimately divides opinion.

    Like ones that mention Chuck Vito, Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, Bruce Lee, and others who were not pro boxers vs. world champion boxers.

    Not really. Climate change still divides opinion. So does the supposed link between vaccines & autism.

    PS - I only recall one or two people other than you making the case for Corbett.

    I think his name was Shommel or something similar to that. This was years ago. He'd put chuck Wepner in with Lennox Lewis or something absurd like that.

    I think its always been the same guy, he just makes a new alt, gets banned, then reappears.

    Either that, or he's a mod.

    Depends on when Jones/Holyfield happened

    Actually, even prime Holyfield vs. 2003 Jones that beat Ruiz isn't close to the most outlandish fantasy matchup. It actually may have been competitive, with Jones' speed and movement troubling Holyfield. Now, if they fought in 2002/03, Jones would have won a shutout decision. Holyfield wasn't a huge puncher, so it's not the mismatch Tyson/Jones would be.

    Also, Mayweather/Robinson is an intriguing matchup to ****yze.
