In what fight would a losing boxer be able to 100% defeat his opponent at the peak of his career?

Trying to avoid obvious ones like Ali-Berbick or Tyson-McBride and looking for more competitive fights. Not 100% or 99% sure, but picks I would feel pretty confident in.

Miguel Cotto-Shane Mosley: I’d pick the Mosley of the late 90s/early 00s to beat Cotto, I’ll go with a late stoppage. Competitive but not close.

Oscar De La Hoya/Felix Trinidad-Pernell Whitaker: I’d pick Whitaker to win a clear decision over Oscar in his younger years, anywhere from 135-147. I had their 97’ fight even. I think Tito has a better chance than Oscar due to his straight right hand, a key weapon against southpaws. I’d still make a 93-94 Whitaker the favorite though over Tito at 147.

Kostya Tszyu-Julio Cesar Chavez: I favor Chavez of the late 80s/early 90s to beat peak Tszyu at 140. Chavez was such a skilled pressure fighter, very adept at slipping shots or rolling with them, and had an iron chin. He cut off the ring very well and was a terrific combo puncher. I think he’d be able to disrupt Tszyu’s rhythm and gradually break him down and stop him in the late rounds.

 

Durna v Kirkland Laing

 

Lewis wasn't that chinny imo. Those bombs he took of Mercer and Vitali wouldn't have been taken by someone who was very bad chinned.

 

Kalambay vs. Chris Pyatt. It was the last fight of his career, he had pretty much no stamina left, and Kalambay was still pretty close to winning.

 

Let me start out Roberto Duran beat Vinny Pazienza in 1994. Beat him badly. Not a close fight.

In their primes that would be a fight i would want a ticket but not ringside. No. Give me 12th row at the closest. I dont blood on my clothes.

Duran isn't going to knock him out early. He would torture him much worse than Roy Jones did. Though i appreciated what Roy did.

 

Funny thing is Duran beat both of those guys. Pazienza the 1st fight got butchered. Camacho did nothing in the 2nd half of their fight while Duran kept droping in that right hand.

In retrospect maybe its good they robbed him or they would have put him in with Hopkins or Jones.

 

Paz fight kinda close,but Camacho really got mauled by a slow as molasses Duran.

 

Actually he would have.

 

If you say so.
