    Roy Jones, Amir Khan, Naseem Hamed, Jorge Linares, Floyd Patterson vs Rocky Marciano, Carl Froch, or George Chuvalo?

    chin is the most valuable commodity in boxing IMO.
    Option 2 for the glory, option 1 for the layydeez.

    I'll go for the second option. All I need is a fighting style as predictable and one dimensional as 90% of the fan's intellectual capabilities and a long list of overly matched bums and paper titles. A twitter account and YouTube highlights only videos should take care of the rest. Life will be good.

    This sounds like Zab Judah as option 1 and Margarito as option 2.

    Option 1 because after his career is over, he likely won't have brain damage

    i like threads like this. a bit of fun in between all the stupid arguments people have on here.
    For the fans/people who dont really go the boxing gym and just love it for the sport, something you may have dreamed about or wanted out of boxing.
    I think more people should put time into threads like this.

    now less of the brown nosing.

    option 2, no one wants to be amir khan.

    i'd go for option 3 - TBE :):):) hate me

    True Provo is a tank but his style is raw and unrefined which is dangerous. Khan is more speedy and technical, if it wasnt for his disgraceful mandible he would be an elite no doubt.

    Yes plus Khan is the more "marketable fighter" as well.

    Yes being British already gives him a potent fan base.

    Although not actually in Britain. I can't think of any UK sportsperson in the last 20-30 years who has fallen from grace as badly as Khan...

    Not too sure about the brain damage, reading the first option it seems that this hypothetical fighter gets wobbled and dropped many times. That could be worse for the brain.
