Your Unpopular Fantasy Fight Matchup

Ah, so it’s fantasy matches not often proffered if at all.

I like Liston v Jimmy Young. Testing and frustrating for Sonny ala Machen but, at least as I see it, a fight that would show off Liston’s rounded skills over a number of rounds and I can actually see Sonny catching up with Jimmy sufficiently to put him out.

 

Jimmy Young 1976 vs Eddie Machen 1960.

 

Hey Richard

Who have you got for this one?

 

I go with a peak Eddie Machen, split decision.

 

Nice. I would lean in that direction also. Thanks for your pick!

 

Prime Kovalev vs prime Langford at 175.

 

Wilfredo Gomez vs Jaimie Garza
Bernard Taylor vs Salvador Sanchez.
Gato Gonzalez vs Johnny Verderosa
Dwight Davison vs Mustafa Hamsho.

 

Here is the number one unrivaled and unpopular fantasy match up: Fury vs. Wilder 4!

 

Cory Spinks vs Kelly Pavlik. Spinks nearly beat Taylor but against Pavlik he would be facing a slower dude that struggled with movement. If Kelly couldn't plant his feet he was ineffective. I believe Cory could box his head off but Pavlik would obviously be favored as he should with his bone crunching power.

It's just a stylistic flaw that BHOP and Martinez exploited. I have seen Cory absolutely clown big dudes in the gym. He stayed at 147 for one fight too long.

 

Muhammad Ali vs Jersey Joe Walcott
Terry Norris vs Fernando Vargas
Oscar Dela Hoya vs Winky Wright
Meldrick Taylor vs Hector Camacho

 

Chris byrd vs John ruiz

 

Okay just thought about this one, Rocky Marciano vs Derrick Jefferson

Why? Because Marciano's right he landed on Walcott in their first is the best in heavyweight history and the same for Derrick Jefferson's left hook he landed on Maurice Harris.

 

VERY interesting mesh of styles. Would love to see Sanchez against a speedster.

 

Quarry vs Bredis

 

Yeah, I always wondered how that matchup would have turned out. Salvador probably edges him, but he would be really frustrated.
