    I'd bring back a prime Roy Jones to fight Canelo at 168. That would be fun to watch.

    Hearns vs Crawford, it would make for a good stare down!

    Hagler would be my first choice.
    Sugar Ray Leonard could dominate today as well.
    Tommy Hearns.
    Aaron Pryor.
    Sugar Ray Robinson, different era but he was special and I think would surprise people.
    Mohammed Ali, in his prime.
    Lomachenko as a 22 year old with good management.

    Always Tyson. Just interesting to see anyone try to deal with peak Mike.

    Sugar Ray Robinson. Would love to see him vs Mayweather's "shoulder roll" . And against BHop as well.

    Unleash a 27 year old Duran on the clowns running around at 130-140 and it look's like a slaughter house.

    It would take a good bit of collateral damage to get rid of Prograis and Taylor. Would make for some great fights. I obviously favor Duran.

    2008-2012 Manny Pacquiao so he can mop the floor with the current 147 pounders.

    Going further back, the 4 Kings and Henry Armstrong.
