Hypothetical Match Up Game

Ali, TK11 because Louis is having trouble seeing due to blood and swelling. Louis the stalker fails to cut of the ring on Ali.

 

Good Comments Dav8, But after your analyzation, give a fight you would like someone else to comment on. Example:

Roger Mayweather .Vs. Naseem Hamed. at 130.

 

Who was the best fighter that Buchanan was ever "too fast and slick" for? Buchanan was forced to call on his heart and determination in practically half the fights he had. He was hardly the defensive wizard you are making him out to be.

He wasn't fast enough or slick enough to outmaneuver Arguello a whole fight, and he didn't have the power to hurt him or hold him off. He's in a Catch 22 situation against Arguello.

I hardly consider taking a one-sided 13-round beating from a young and raw Duran being an indication of any kind of exceptional prowess on his part.

 

Hmmmmm... interesting.

Mayweather may have had the style and the skills to beat Hamed, but his chin was so damn unreliable. At some point, Hamed is liable to land with one of his looping, awkward-angle punches and flatten Mayweather.

I'd take Hamed to KO him at some point, after being outboxed for as long as the fight was going before that.


Next up: Ike Williams vs. Julio Cesar Chavez.

 

Not quite IMO..he was competitive though it was more then likely one-sided on the cards. Roberto wasnt given that fight easily.

 

Ike Williams vs JCC..

Great fight but I cant see Chavez being able to exert his will like he was used to.

I just dont think Williams folds or gets intimidated by Chavez and when JCC is trying to dominate later on when he usually is able to after investing to the body early, Williams will still be there and will still be giving as good as he gets.

I think Williams takes an early lead and second half of the fight is a great see-saw tussle with Ike hanging on to take a 9-6 kind of decision over 15.

Ismael Laguna vs Jose Napoles @ 140.

 

Laguna would give Napoles alot of problems, but Montequilla was a great problem solver, Mapoles would slowly use his smooth boxing skills to gain a late advantage against a game Laguna. but a natural size advantage & power would tilt the balance in Napoles" favor. Napoles 15 round decision.

Ken Buchanon .Vs. Fritzie Zivic
(If Buchanon had trouble with Duran's tactics, Try Zivic on for size).

 

Just about any version of Ray destroys Mike inside 8 rounds....The later 140 version maybe wouldnt but thats hardly fair using that incarnation of Mancini against a pretty much in his physical prime Katsidas.

Carlos Palomino vs Donald Curry

 

I think it'd be a really close fight but I'll take Donald Curry. Palomino would give him quite a few scares though...I just think Curry is the better fighter between the two.

Bobby Chacon vs Erik Morales at 130 lbs

 

Morales takes it with his smoother boxing skills, & power advantage. At feather however, could be a different story as Chacon was much sharper.

Tony Ayala Jr. .Vs. Terry Norris

 

very tough but ill say mosely takes this one by a split dec. in our era, in armstrongs it would be even closer because of the oldtimers extreme conditioning .
jim jeffries vs joe frazier in big jeffs era

 

Wow that's a tough one. Paez was the master at taking people out of their games with his sometimes "difficult" style...but I have to imagine that Popo in his prime would handle him at any weight and possibly KO him late. Then again I've seen too much of Paez post his superstar days and not enough of Maromero in his prime, making it very difficult to judge.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley vs Kostya Tszyu at a catch weight of say 143-ish.
