    And Ive never seen McLarnin fight so I cant see how he does vs Tszyu.

    Ruben Carter vs Bennie Briscoe

    Good a boxer as Hill was I see Johnson outpointing him. A better schooled fighter.

    Walter McGowan vs Miguel Canto.

    My knowledge on both, especially McGowan is sparse...Seen a bit of film of Canto and even less of McGowan.

    So Ill say Canto frustrates and edges out McGowan for most rounds contested until Walter is stopped on cuts with a few rounds to go.

    Chris Eubank vs Koichi Wajima @ 160.

    Eubank lands too many punches & takes this one by late round stoppage.

    Alan Minter. Vs. Tony Sibson

    I will probably be in the minority, but that's cool!!! I would take Minter on a close decision, as his unorthodox style causes Sibson to be hesitant in the early going and coming up just short on the cards in an exciting match (that people would forget about and seldom talk about for the next 30 years)

    Alfredo Escalera vs Wilfredo Gomez

    The 130 version of Gomez was a shell. Escalera in a easy fight. lopsided decision or TKO late for the Snakeman.

    This one's for you Philly. Bennie Briscoe .Vs. Bernard Hopkins

    I love both guys, but Bennie's best shot is to KO Bernard, I don't believe he out poins him....I also don't envision Bernard getting KO'd here. Bernard uses his savy to out box the big puncher...But Briscoe had a decent chin (better than decent) and probably aint goin down in this one either...bernard 9 rds to 3.

    Tony The Tiger Lopez vs Marco Antonio Barrera SFW

    Lopez, quicker and younger at the weight, continually gets off first and boxes his way to a hard-fought but well-deserved decision.


    Once again... :twisted:

    Jimmy McLarnin vs. Tszyu @140

    No cheating this time, folks! :nono

    This thread cannot die.

    I've seen approximately...two fights of McLarnin but for the sake of continuation, I think he'd beat ZOO because he was the faster of the two. Anyways from what I've read McLarnin might be more powerful than him as well. I REALLY need to see more of McLarnin but it's friggin impossible. I've tried. Hopefully that suffices enough for ya :p

    118 lb over 15 rounds
    Rafa Marquez vs Lupe Pintor

    Great fight, Both fighters landing alot of punches. But Pintor is a bit more polished & would take over late in the fight. Pintor by close split decision win.

    Henry Armstrong .Vs. Julio C. Chavez at 135.

    I think Armstrong was quicker and more skilled on the inside. I'll take Armstrong by decision in an all-out war.


    Armstrong then goes on to a fight with Aaron Pryor at 140. What happens?

    Harder ask for Armstrong IMO...Most fighters will struggle with weight issues at some point but during his welter days Hank's main struggle was just getting up to the 140 mark. When fighting the likes of Ross, he spent a great portion of his preparation eating and drinking beer just to get in range of the welter limit. And quite often didnt, giving away a substantial weight disadvantage.

    Stepping up to fight a physically strong and unorthodox 140 pounder, one of the true nightmares H2H at the weight would be a very tough challenge. If anyone is up to it its Hank though.

    I think the Hawk picks up the points with his angles from the outside and deals with the strength of Armstrong with his own.
    Scraps through by the skin of his teeth to bag a points verdict.

    Jose Luis Ramirez vs Rodolfo Gonzalez...

    Ramirez wins an absolute war. Scorecards read 115-113, 116-112, and 114-114, a majority decision.

    A fight that already happened, but lets tinker with it a bit.

    Winky Wright (2006) vs Trinidad (1999)

    Trinidad is game but still cannot find the answer for Winky's defense...slightly less lopsided, but still a clear UD for Winky!

    Jeff Fenech vs Wifredo Bazooka Gomez
