    Toss up between Frazier Tua and Hearns Pac, probably Hearns Pac unless Frazier Tua is in a ridiculous environment like Manila just to see how much more Frazier excels

    Even though Roberto was slightly past his lightweight prime I would love to see JCC and Duran do battle. It would be a great fight from beginning to end.

    1 Duran v Chaves
    2 Frazier v Tua
    3 Hagler v G
    4 Hearns v Pac ( this is a bit of a mismatch IMO)

    1. Duran vs Chavez would be epic; a true dream fight! The others, though intriguing fights, aren't dream matchups.

    I go with the crowd here:
    Roberto Durán vs Julio César Chávez would be an instant classic.
    Two ATG who are evenly matched, making the outcome a real 50 - 50 toss up.

    Hagler - GGG and Frazier - Tua would be also good match ups, but with clear advantage for Marvin and Joe.

    Tommy versus Pacroid would be very interesting, mostly to see how much punishment Pacroid could absorb before going down like a sack of potatos.
    Would Pacroid last as much as Pipino and Duran did? That is anybody's guess.

    Hands of JCC Stones, though I think Chavez could beat Duran. Great pairing for this one.

    Duran vs JCC. Though I pick Duran I want my money back if JCC wins…and with the option to pick another fight from the list.

    I’m a big Pac fan but Hearns is an awful fight for him. A custom 1-2 rd KO for Tommy I fear.

    Duran - Chavez at 135 would be insane ... anyone picking Roberto as a lock is dreaming ... he'd have to be at his absolute best ...
