    Archie Moore vs Bob Fitzsimmons, especially because both were old champions who knew boxing better than anyone. Can't think about any more exciting potential fight.

    I'd love to see Peter Maher against some of the best fighters.

    Hearns v the old /er version of Moore could be interesting.I don't see Archie putting Hearns away straight off like some may believe .I can see Tommy actually doing rather well for a time Against the old mongoose , maybe dictate the fight with his jab . But Moore would certainly find his way around that at some point ,to lower the boom onto the hit man .

    Ezzard Charles vs Archie Moore

    Yeah, I know it happened several times, but since I've never been afforded the opportunity of a proper viewing experience with any of those fights, then it still counts as a fantasy match-up for me.

    Greb vs Langford
    Billy Conn vs Ezzard Charles
    Dwight Qawi vs Archie Moore
    Bob Foster vs Michael Spinks
    Gene Tunney vs Roy Jones Jr.

    And I wouldn't put my money on anyone there.

    So much talent was at, or passes through this weight class.
