Evenly Matched Boxers From Different Eras!

List your boxers from different eras, who are so evenly matched (in your view) that picking a winner would be very difficult or impossible for you!

I'll start with one match up that would be almost impossible for me to predict: The Best Version of Oleksandr Usyk vs. The Best Version of Jack Sharkey.

And I could also replace either of the above with The Best Version of Jersey Joe Walcott, and I would still be hard pressed to pick a winner.

I want to see yours!

 

George Foreman v Sonny Liston
Jack Johnson v Sam Langford (prime)
Max Schmeling v Joe Jeanette
Evander Holyfield v Ken Norton

Just to name a few

 

Rocky Marciano and Artur Beterbiev

 

Igualmente !!!!

ohhh ummm , ya I think Monzon vs Roy Jones would have been very interesting

 

Rocky Marciano vs. Bobby Crabtree

 

Terry Norris vs Lamar Parks would've been crazy.

 

Holyfield-Norton that’s a good one.

Whitaker & Mayweather my pick.

 

Gerasimov vs Goering

 

Sonny Liston Vs. Mike Tyson

 

Rocky Marciano v Joe Frazier - a ring may not be necessary, only a phone booth. This fight is scary!

 

Some none HW picks:
Roberto Duran v Ike Williams
Benny Leonard v Joe Gans
Ray Robinson v Barbados Joe Walcott
Tommy Loughran v Billy Conn
Kid McCoy v Stanley Ketchel
Jake LaMotta v Marvin Hagler
Salvador Sanchez v Alexis Arguello
Eder Jofre v Ruben Olivares

 

Duran v Chavez
Duran v Ortiz

 

Chavez not on Duran’s level for mine. Still a great clash, though.

 

Robert Villemain vs Roberto Duran

yes Duran started at Lightweight, but he was every inch a Welter cum Middleweight as was Villemain, and Villemain made good with some of the greatest fighters, from arguably the Greatest Division & Era in Boxing History...

a Sellout at the Gardens!

 

- Marvin Hagler vs Carlos Monzon vs Sugar Ray Robinson (at 160)
- Roberto Duran vs Henry Armstrong (at 135)
- Kid Gavilan vs Jose Napoles vs Sugar Ray Leonard (at 147)
