    Cheating because I dont think either guy would weigh 147 but Pryor vs Pacquiao is the greatest fantasy fight ever in any weight class

    Not saying I wouldn't want to see it, particularly at 140, but the best fantasy matchup at any weight? Really? That's a bold statement.

    Pryor was obviously not a welterweight per se in his prime, so how about the best pure WW matchup?

    I've already picked what I consider my favourite fantasy matchup between two undoubted top 10 welters ('69 Napoles v '81 Leonard) but from a pure entertainment point of view, Mickey Walker v Carmen Basilio would be hard to beat.
