Yeah, almost ideal list. Can't imagine any fight being not competitive or not entertaining. I love that you included Old Mongoose vs Rudy Rob.
Fitsimmons vs Moore is as good a technical slugfest as possible. Both had solid chins, could bang with the best of them, had unique styles and were master boxers. Perfect clash of styles as well. I've fought of about 25 extra fights that could be listed here. I had to let my bias for southpaw on southpaw clashes to take over.
What is also amazing in this fight is that even KDs doesn't mean a win. Both could fight extremely well when hurt and never lost their patience in the ring. They both carried their power into late rounds extremely well and were very well conditioned. This fight could be scheduled as a 10 rounder, 12 rounder, 15 rounder and it would always be exciting untill the end. It's much more entertaining fantasy slugfest than other because you can't predict anything here.
Chacon-Gatti at 130 - that's as exciting as it gets. Marciano-Frazier is my all-time fantasy heavyweight action fight. Fantasy gold.
1. Dempsey vs Marciano 2. Ali vs Marciano 3. Fitzsimmons vs Langford 4. Baer vs Foreman 5. Gatti vs Graziano 6. Armstrong vs Mayweather Jr 7. Robinson vs Hearns 8. Ketchel vs Hagler 9. Walcott vs Ali 10. Sullivan vs Jeffries
Pass. Picking a winner is almost impossible. Gun to my head I'll take death Fitsimmons TKO. I think both go down, both get up, both get up but Fitsimmons was bigger fighting freak imo (meaning he was more supernaturally equipped to survive a fire fight) and would eventually catch Moore clean then take him down. But another almost impossible to predict fight. To me this is probably the easiest. Greb UD He'd out work Gerald but would be met with some hellfire in return. I like Benn here. He'd pound Froch's face with a type of fire power he'd never seen before. I like both to stay on there feet swinging and Froch's stamina to bring him back later on but Nigel starts strong and takes a UD imo. Montréal Duran vs Mickey Walker is one of the best slugfest possible. I'd like Duran to make Walker miss more and land some good counters whilst getting hit in return. Not a KO imo, Duran UD15 Fight for the number 2 WW of all time imo. I like Walker to outmuscle Armstrong but lose a UD based on Homicide Hank's output. Joe is the bigger guy and he's quicker. Both guys are equally brutal on the inside and would walk towards each other, i like Joe to win this by late TKO, he'd be landing more than Rocky and dodging more of Rocky's punches but he'd be at a disadvantage due to pretty much being one handed. Rocky has every chance of winning but I favour Frazier's speed, size and defence. Joe TKO13 I like Rocky to take Dempsey's onslaught and makes the pace he would set catch up on Jack and take him out late. Rocky TKO11 Usyk UD12, I like him to outbox Jirov whilst the pair of them land all sorts of bombs on eachother. Them both being southpaw would let them use there full arsenals unhindered I think Tarver has the better chin, and that's what it would come down to. I think in this brawl they'd line up lefts and Tarver would take more of Moorer's than the other way around Tarver TKO9 I think it goes without saying that none of these are easy fights.
1 watching Celebration Led Zeppelin: ****ing great 1. Barbados Walcott v as. Armstrong 2. Duran vs. LaVigne And Nelson wolgast etc 3. Liston vs. Jeffries 4. 1971 Briscoe vs. 83 Hagler 5. La Motta vs 81 Fletcher 6. 78 Franklin vs 81 Braxton----Matt by 10 count oh yeah baby. Dwight would be Trampled Under Foot. 7. 78 Franklin vs 82 Spinks- Matt by stoppage 8. 75 Galindez vs. 78 Franklin. Viscious Victor in an ever so bloody stoppage 9. Ace Hudkins vs. 154 Hearns-Hudkins in a goring 10. Cuevas vs. Basilio- Pipino cracks the impenetrable jaw. KO 2 for Cuevas
I think Tyson vs Ali is a staple fantasy fight. Argubly the two most iconic boxers of all time going at it. Would be a great fight
10 in no order Dempsey vs Marciano Duran vs Ike Williams Sullivan vs Jefferies Duran vs Napoles Chang vs Yuh Canzoneri vs Armstrong Sanchez vs Saldivar Harada vs Chang Greb vs Hagler Steele vs Robinson Also, a new addition in my fantasy match ups is Jimmy Wilde vs Midget Wolgast.
