    FOTC Joe Frazier vs 1988 Mike Tyson--WOW--a war for the ages!! (I think Frazier wins in a similar fashion to his 1971 UD over Muhammad Ali--Joe would take some heavy punishment but he grinds out a victory through sheer toughness and iron will!)

    James Toney vs Gerald McCellan would be interesting… not a dream fight should happen at 175lbs so no silly business at the scales, Toney considered Gerald light work in the gym but I’d wanna see it - I’d like to see Robinson vs Burley or Monzon vs Hagler like everybody else so I’m not gonna list obvious ones.

    LMAO!! No effin' way!! If George Foreman couldn't dispatch a shopworn Frazier in round 1 no way Tyson's going to against the FOTC version of Frazier--not a chance!!

    NOW--could Tyson put Frazier on the canvas in round 1? Absolutely he could--that I'll give you! But the Frazier that fought Ali in 71' was as tough and fierce a competitor as you'll ever see in the sport. Tyson's not stopping THIS version of Joe in round 1. And I honestly don't think Tyson--even at his 1988 peak could beat FOTC Frazier. Joe was too much of a warrior--Tyson didn't ever have the kind of heart and grit that Frazier had at his best!

    . My choice too . Could of happened after the Barkley fight. In the US due to Jackson 's eye trouble. I fancy Benn to do it via KO of coarse. Fight of the year ! real Shame it didn't happen

    That's always been my #1 dream matchup as well - the ultimate aggressor vs. the ultimate counterpuncher. I'd give Duran a slight edge.

    Most of my dream fights already took place but in the wrong time.

    For example 'd have loved to see Donald Curry of his 1985 vintage ,fight Hagler ,Hearns or Duran in 1985, 1989 Nunn or even fight 1986 Honeyghan.

    Jones jnr 1999 v Calzaghe 2006

    I'd like to have seen 1986 Honeyghan v the 1989 Starling & Breland.

    Otherwise the dream fights are Foreman v Tyson March 1991.

    Duran-Arguello at lightweight, late 1978.

    Yes, Duran would probably win but it would be great to see it unfold.

    Evander Holyfield vs Joe Frazier when both were prime and undefeated. Not totally sure who wins but what a bloody battle that would be
