    OK, i'm breaking one of my own rules and doing a top five.

    1 - Joe Knight v Billy Miske - in the pocket, loads of body-punches, loads of left-hooks to the body, two tough, tough nearly men, would be awesome.

    2 - Mickey Walker v Glen Johnson - would just be bizarre and mad and loads of punches. Johnson would come to walk Walker down and beat him up and he'd get Mickey right in the pocket throwing leather at him, trying to brutalise him right back. Neither could be turned, who would break first?

    3 - Paul Berlenbach v Dwight Muhammad Qawi. Hard to think of anything more savage, would be more brutal than Walker-Johnson.

    4 - Victor Galindez v Lloyd Marshall. Galindez's brilliant economy versus magical riffing from Marhsall.

    5 - Oleksandr Gvozdyk v Dmitry Bivol. This one could actually happen.

    There are plenty of dream bouts I'd LOVE to see Saad fight. He was such a great underdog and heart-filled fighter. Love him.

    It's likely Spinks would have beat him, but Saad would have done his usual, giving everything.

    Saad vs Beterbiev is one of the most gruesome fights I can think of

    Spinks vs Foster no doubt for me. Would also love to see how a prime Spinks handles Saad. Spinks tended to give away the first few rounds and I’d be curious to know if Spinks’ chin bails him out, or perhaps he would wake up and turn the power on early. If the latter is the case we’d be in for an all time great fight.

    Prime for prime Saad and Michael. If it's the Saad of 1980 I think Michael would have to fight for his life. But I can see Michael winning.

    YEAH. BUT ONLY WHEN EACH WAS AN 6TH GRADER AND WEIGHED 104 SOAKING WET. NOTHING BEATS A FIGHT WHERE FIGHTER ARE TOO SMALL TO HURT EACH OTH E R. BUT BOY THEY SURE THROW A LOT OF PUNCHES.
