    Actually I'd like to see a pizzed off Roberto Duran anywhere from 135 to 147 leave Floyd in crumpled heap

    Hearns vs. Amir Khan. Imagine the panic and movement of Khan as he flees away from the flicking jab because he knows what's coming after it

    It's such a shame you'll never get to see it. Now we'll never know what would actually happen

    How would Ray cope with his speed?

    Let me put your curiosity at rest. Both stop him, probably brutally.

    One that happened that I liked was Camacho vs Leonard. Leonard handpicked Camacho because he was a smaller guy and not known for his power. Ray got a big surprise that night.

    Your opinion lacks realism and the reason is you did not provide any scenarios how these wins would come about

    You are short sighted and thus, I am far from convinced.

    Terry is just a shade lighter and although Leonard was defeated by both Norris & Hagler, Norris defeated Leonard more convincingly and Norris has the greeter foot speed, especially over Monzon

    That's two strikes against you.

    Camacho was brilliant. It was his last great performance

    When you have two ATG granite chinned skilled middleweights against a chinny 154 pound non ATG scenario's aren't exactly required.

    Lets dial this in.

    Do you think Norris would beat both Hagler and Monzon?
