Bring back a Fighter in their Prime to Today

Riddick Bowe and Larry Holmes

 

Duran

In todays mickey mouse era, he would win multiple titles and remain champion for decades

 

Tyson Hagler Burley Duran Chavez snr

 

I’d bring back Jesse James Leija at Lightweight. To demonstrate how undeserved the egos are.

 

Loma is not better than Lou Ambers or even Rosario.

 

Pep was still great after the Plane crash. He was still comfortably outboxing Saddler before being stopped. (The Judge's scorecards were closer than they should have been)

Saddler was just a bad style matchup for him.

 

Mike Tyson.

Would be great watching him cut through the top 5 in the division.

 

Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson, and Tommy Hearns. Give this lot modern training and they would demolish this current era with ease.

 

Ike Ibeabuchi

Edwin Valero from 130-140lbs so he can kill everybody

 

I'd bring back all the best prime heavyweights ever to stop watching this heavyweight division nonsense today...

 

Why? It would be total annihilation by Roy Jones Jr. It wouldn't even be competitive.

The fight would be like this...

Chickenelo would plod after RJJ. RJJ would unleash combinations Chickenelo wouldn't see coming. By round six, Chickenelo's face would look like a smashed tomato. The only question is would RJJ feel pity and carry Chickenelo to the full 12 rounds, or knock his ass out in 7.

 

Don't ride on Roys nuts. For as great of a fighter as he was, he had one glaring weakness which Canelo would take advantage of: no chin. All speed and no chin is a complete recipe for disaster against the hard hitting, iron chinned Canelo who btw has never been dropped in his career. Roy on the other hand has been dropped numerous times at various weight classes. I think we know who got the chin advantage.

That hit and run **** works well against opponents who are basic in defense, but doesn't work against ones who play defense mind games to keep you guessing like Canelo. Combine that with an iron chin and just better counterpunching skill and yeah, Roy would get caught with something big and if anything he'd be the one out on the canvas in 7.

Somewhere watching in the audience is Tarver whom is heard saying "you got any excuses tonight Roy?".
