    Mosley would have stopped Tszyu late. Kostya would have given Shane a tough fight, but overall I see a prime Mosley just being too fast, too powerful, and too tough for Tszyu. Plus I think Mosley's body punching would have worn Tszyu out. Mosley TKO 11.

    Ismael Laguna vs Meldrick Taylor

    Taylor's speed would play havoc with Laguna's already suspect defense. Taylor UD.

    Micky Ward vs Ricardo Torres @ 140

    ward draws torres into a war and stops him around the 5th with a susatined body attack. an absouloute war.

    Frazier, with his speed and relentless attack, eventually busts his way through Johnson's defense and wins by decision or late TKO.


    Fight that we just missed out on seeing...

    John John Molina vs. Arturo Gatti, jr. lightweights.

    Molina would have way to much IMO in the skill dept. and cruises to a lopsided decision or stoppage on cuts. On the other hand if Molina throws caution to the wind ala Lopez II and tries to just outslug him, it could open the door a little for Gatti...But for my money it would be on John John

    Salvador Sanchez vs Jeff Fenech

    Salvador Sanchez by 15 rd decision over Jeff Fenech.

    Fenech`s come forward bruising style would play into Sanchez`s hands & he would counter him to death IMO.

    Robinson vs Hagler at 160 - the best of both at the weight ?

    How about, 135 pounds, PBF and a "Pre Chavez" Meldrick Taylor. I bring this point up often, and think that Taylor would beat Floyd.......thoughts?

    Hagler.....IMO the best middleweight of all time, who lost two fights early on in Philly to Philly fighters (Both decisions were horrendous) and of course, you can venture to guess my opinion of the Sugar Ray Fight. I think Hagler won that fight, and personally, I think it was obvious.

    It's not out of the realm of possibilty. Floyd is so accurate though, and his masterful counter punching would be a nightmare for Taylor. I like PBF by a fairly wide UD.

    Billy Conn vs Tomasz Adamek at 175

    Conn wide UD. Admaek is too slow for him.

    Hank Armstrong vs Sandy Saddler

    Saddler by a late KO as hank pressuring forward causes him to walk into saddlers huge punches

    Johnny Hill vs Benny Lynch

    Saddler by UD or late stoppage over Homicide Hank. Maybe the only fighter I'd pick to stop him around his prime weights. Just a bad matchup.

    Fighting Harada vs Sung-Kil Moon at 115

    Moon gets sloppy and dives in one too many times. Harada catches him coming in. Mid round KO.

    Ray Leonard (1989 version) vs Shane Mosley (2004 version) @ 147
