    Both are master boxers with under ratted power.

    All great matchups...Potentially the funnest would be Duran-Armstrong but I reckon both would prefer that one at lightweight.

    Haye vs Holy would be 3 rounds of war...4 rounds of beatdown.

    I think stylistically Foster vs Moore would be a kracker...Could Moore's awkward defense and shorter stature foil Foster's outside sharpshooting?...I think it could and there are very few if any who beat Foster at this weight..and Moore for that matter.

    They all are mouth watering fights but I must say I am fascinated about Holyfield vs Haye.

    If this is your choices of the top two fighters in these divisions, then I'd have to dispute your selections at middle, light-middle, welter and feather.

    For me, middle would be Monzon vs Robinson (I can't include Greb as I never seen him on film, but h2h I would also have Hagler and Hopkins ahead of Tiger).

    At light-middle, I think Mike McCallum beats both Wright and Hearns. Definitely Wright, Hearns probably but Tommy could KO anyone at 154.

    At welter, Robinson vs Armstrong or Sugar Ray Leonard would be the fight. Duran was not a natural welter.

    Feather: Willie Pep?


    However, of the choices you have made, I think Pryor-Chavez would be the best fight.

    Though personally, I would love to see 1994-96 smw Roy Jones Jr fight Joe Calzaghe. Superman would have embarrassed Joe en route to a wide UD. Calzaghe never fought a peak ATG, he would've been well out of his depth against someone faster than him who could match his workrate but who also had better skills and far better power.

    I'm not Asian or Arabic or Middle Eastern or Muslim or anything of the sort you dog, that's not why your racism disgusts me.
