    Mine currently anyways would be Braddock vs Carnera. But I've been on a Braddock kick lately.
    I think braddock would walk him down with one two combos and win by u.d. both had iron chins and not alot of power so I don't see this not going the distance.
    Gollata vs liston would be another great one, I just like seeing gollata **** his pants

    Dempsey v Marciano and I don’t really know who would win, I think I lean just about to Dempsey.

    I'm always more interested in the fights that didn't happen than ones between fighters from different generations, simply because those are often too hypothetical. So Duran-Arguello is the one I would like to have seen most, followed by Duran-Cervantes. Both would likely have been classics but it would have been impossible for Duran v Arguello not to have been a great fight.

    People can act hip all they like but if this choice was a reality, in some mythical world, then we would all say Ali-Tyson.

    They could definitely teach their idol a thing or ten about tenacity and fighting adversity.

    The heavyweight fight from history I'd most like to see would be Marciano v Frazier. There's no doubt in my mind it would have been a great, great fight. And I've no idea who would win.

    There's so many dream fights that it's so hard to pick just one so here's a few.

    Holmes vs Foreman
    Dempsey vs Holyfield
    Duran vs Chavez (lightweight)
    Hagler Vs Golovkin
