    Archie Moore vs Bob Fitzsimmons :)

    If I can't use smaller fighters, then Joe Louis vs Ali or Foreman vs Baer

    Any match involving Ali, Louis and Marciano

    Foreman vs Liston is a close second

    Ken Norton vs James Jeffries - the battle of body punchers.

    Jack Dempsey vs Sonny Liston - who outbrawls who.

    Rocky Marciano vs Sam Langford - two of the greatest among the shortest.

    Another interesting one is Patterson vs Fitzsimmons - so many questions would be answered by this matchup.

    Patterson was very fast, had modern style and good combination of offense and defense. He's not huge though and he's not the most durable. He could only fight one way and Fitz used to destroy swarmers.

    Fitzsimmons had unique awkward style and P4P the biggest punch in history. He was also master among masters in terms of tactical approach. He had some problems with speedy boxers though and he could be hurt. He was also light and had much different defensive style than most modern fighters.

    not likely to except in a dream either even if u cloned em. But it would be awesome to see Sully took apart if he was forced into the fight.
