What is the greatest matchup of all time?

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Henry Armstrong
Muhammad Ali vs Archie Moore
Ezzard Charles vs Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Archie Moore
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler
Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr
Julio Cesar Chavez vs Pernell Whitaker
Roy Jones Jr vs Bernard Hopkins, James Toney
Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis

 

Greb Walker

Both are in my top 10 of all time. Same with SRR Armstrong.

 

Hi Guys.
So I have :
Louis / Marciano
Langford / Ketchell
Gans / McGovern ( tainted )
Leonard / Britton
Monzon / Napoles
Olivares / Arguello
Saddler / Pep
Basilio / Robinson
Gomez / Sanchez
Foster / Frazier
Greatest ! not sure, the above have some merit.
stay safe guys, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Pacquiao and Mayweather is the greatest since television.

 

Greb-Walker
Greb-Tunney
Duran-Leonard
Frazier-Ali
Marciano-Louis
Chavez-Taylor
Leonard-Hearns
Duran-DeJesus
Basilio-Robinson
Pep-Saddler
Tyson-Spinks
Clay-Liston
Dempsey-Tunney

 

Agree on Robinson vs Armstrong.

Came to add Saddler vs Pep — many, maybe even most, have them 1-2 in featherweight history.

Greb vs Tunney deserves a place in this discussion.

 

Another excellent choice Wilde & Villa..

I'll' throw another group of legends in who all fought each other... Jimmy Mclarnin Tony Canzoneri & Barney Ross...

As for Ray & Armstrong.. yes undoubtedly two of the GOATS but Armstrong was nearly 34 & past his best.. Hed already lost twice that year.. so although it was a matchup of two of the greatest ever one was some way past his best.

I think Greb Walker is better.. after Greb beat Walker Mickey went on to defend his WW title, win the MW title , beat or push very close some of the best LHWs of the time & then became a legit HW contender pushing the future lineal champion Sharkey to a draw.

 

Bro I ****ing love your style of posting ... all formal and ****. You are charming as **** brother no homo

 

Louis v John Henry Lewis.

 

Hi Buddy.
Well, that is damn nice to hear, Glaukos, you have grown on me over the years, and I like you unique way with words, so the feeling is mutual my friend.
stay safe buddy, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Hi Buddy.
Must say your love and admiration for Walker is very endearing, and I fully concur their matchup is undoubtedly the pick of the crop, of all the dozens of great, really great fights over the 120 years or so, this one is the fight I would like to have seen the most, off to the garage to dig out my time machine.... hope to spare your blushes, but in the short time you have been a member, you have conducted yourself, via your post in an exemplary way, knowledgeable, informative, and shown admirable humility, long may you stay.
stay safe buddy, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Duran-Leonard and Leonard-Hearns were during television right? Ali/Frazier 1??
All of those fights were way more meaningful and relevant than this fight which any true fight fan (are you one?) knows came 5 years too late.
