If you could make any two boxers from history fight who would it be and who would win

So many, Robinson vs Leonard would be 1st. Duran v Arguello, Duran v Chavez, Duran v Pryor, Benitez v Whitaker (wonder if either would land a punch on the other lol. J.Jackson vs Mugabi. Hearns vs J.Jackson Ali vs Tyson. Foster vs Qawi , Foster vs M.Spinks I could go on forever of fights that would've been great to see.

 

This is a really easy one for me. Ali and Joe Louis. The best defensive heavyweight of all time vs the best offensive one. Their abilities compliment each other in the most fascinating ways. I think most people underestimate Louis' chances because they misunderstand his footwork and extrapolate too much from the first Conn fight.

This would be as much a chess match as a war, boring some people and bearing out the saying "Boxing is like jazz; the better it is the less it's appreciated". It ends with a split decision.
Ali has cracked ribs and is spitting blood and Joe's eyes are almost swollen shut.

 

70s George Foreman and Adrien Broner. 20 rounds, 4 oz gloves, 10 ft ring.

I would lean towards George in this one.

 

Sullivan and Smith? Interesting. Care to elaborate?

 

Arguello vs Corrales...Corrales gets knocked out
Pedrosa vs Saddler...this fight is decided by DQ
Sanchez vs JMM...Sal wins by decision
Sanchez vs Barrera...Sal wins by T/KO
Mancini vs Gatti...Mancini by TKO or stoppage by cuts
Rosario vs John John Molina...Rosario floors Molina early, but loses a decision
Hatton vs Cotto...Hatton wins at 140, if the fight is in Manchester. Anywhere else or at 147, Cotto wins
Pryor vs Chavez...Pryor wins by decision in a brutal fight
Armstrong vs Pryor...tossup, leaning towards Armstrong
Burley vs Leonard...Burley by decision.
Burley vs Hearns...Burley by late T/KO
Oba Carr vs Meldrick Taylor...tossup
Mugabi vs Jackson...tossup, but I lean towards Jackson
Ayala vs Fernando Vargas...tossup, but I lean towards Vargas
Hagler vs Lamotta...Hagler by decision
Hearns vs Lamotta...Lamotta by late T/KO
Toney vs Qawi...Toney by decision, if he’s motivated, otherwise he gets punished
Marciano vs Qawi...Qawi puts up a helluva fight before he “falls hard” for Suzie Q
Marciano vs Holyfield...Holyfield uses his head to make a mess of Rocky’s face. However, Marciano plays Jason Vorhees to Holyfield’s terrified, slow, clumsy white chick and he is unable to escape from Suzie Q
Ike vs Tyson...Ike walks throuh hell and comes out the other side looking down on a prone Tyson. After the fight, they party together with some ladies of ill repute and somebody goes to prison.

 

An oldie HW champ vs an 80's HW champ.

 

I like Pedrosa v Saddler and the DQ. Potentially one of the dirtiest fights in history!

Mancini v Gatti - good one. One of the most exciting fighters in the 80s, which was one of the most exciting periods in boxing history, against the most exciting fighter since. I think Mancini would definitely win but it would be tremendous fun while it lasted.

Pryor v Chavez - oh yes, this is a great one! Hard to pick a winner but I lean towards Pryor too.

 

I was thinking Shavers vs Khan under the same conditions.

 

Thanks for your feedback. I hope I’m alive to see time travel come to fruition. I also hope the fighters only travel to the past. I’d hate to imagine Mancini traveling forward in time to marinate a fight with Gatti.

 

Conundrum......
We would be aware if time travel is possible in the future as someone would have already came back and told us, surely.

 

That’s true. Next time you decide to rain on my parade, give me fair warning.

 

Indeed, i will travel back to 2015 and tip you off.

 

Only one !!! Cmon 5 please!!!

Marciano v dempsey

Honeyghan 1986 vs starling 1989

Ali 1974 v lewis 2002

Holyfield 1997 v tyson 1988

Benn 1990 v norris 1992

 

FOTC Frazier vs Holyfield from the Douglas fight.

 

I will give you your worst case scenario here.

Sullivan demolishes him, and you wonder why you didn't take the opportunity, to put Tyson in against him!
