    How about John Ruiz vs Jack Johnson ? Might as well make it a wrestling match

    Shakur vs. Floyd. Floyd would win, as he's better at it, but it would be a complete snoozefest. Although it might be a great film study specifically for defense and counters. Like, for boxing scholarship, that time machine fight (if filmed with modern cameras) would be fantastic. But... but not exciting.

    Jack Johnson vs Jimmy Young is another match up that wouldn’t necessarily promise much in the way of fireworks.

    If Johnson won the nod Jimmy wold likely complain that he was robbed yet again. Excellent fighter but a bit of a winger the old “excitement plus” Jimmy was -
