    Heavy: Peter Jackson vs Lennox Lewis
    Light Heavy: Bob Fitzsimmons/Joe Choynski vs Roy Jones Jr
    Middle: Fitzsimmons/Tommy Ryan vs Bernard Hopkins/Toney
    Welter: Tommy Ryan/Jack Dempsey vs Trinidad
    Light: Jack McAuliffe vs Whitaker
    Feather: George Dixon vs Naseem Hamed
    Bantam: Jimmy Barry v Veeraprol Sahaprom

    Each Fighter can fight no more than once at any particular weight. Calls can be made on legacy if you prefer.

    This should actually be quite interesting to see given the 100 year discrepancys. I have added Joe Choynski as a possible light heavy, in case anyone thinks it is better to have arguably the biggest light heavy weight hitter ever against Roy Jones and drop Fitz and Ryan down a weight division, where they were considered close to invincible in their primes.

    The 1890s will be underdogs but do look to have a fairly decent advantage in terms of dominance (within their own time). Both teams seem to have a lot of depth and you can easily come up with several different combinations of fighters depending on which fighter you use.

    My thoughts?

    The only fights were I would significantly favour one side over the other are:

    Tommy Ryan to take Trinidad

    George Dixon to take Hamed

    I guess that is a vindication of the 1890s crew.

    Heavy: Peter Jackson vs Lennox Lewis - Lewis KO1-3 completely overwhelms the smaller man

    Light Heavy: Bob Fitzsimmons vs Roy Jones Jr - Jones Jr KO late rounds. Jones toys with him before putting an end to it

    Middle: Tommy Ryan vs Toney - Toney wide points decision but isnt able to stop the durable Ryan

    Welter: Jack Dempsey vs Trinidad - Was Dempsey a baby here? Guessing he was green as hell? I'll go for Trinidad KO8 based on the fact he KOed blacks and Dempsey being green

    Light: Jack McAuliffe vs Whitaker - Whitake wide UD completely outclasses McAuliffe

    Feather: George Dixon vs Naseem Hamed - Dixon lost 1/3 of his fights in a crude era. Hamed KO10.

    Bantam: Jimmy Barry v Veeraprol Sahaprom - never heard of Barry, cannot comment

    Pachilles that's not Jack Dempsey the heavyweight.

    I don't think i've ever owned someone with such ease, i feel like Lennox Lewis in your scenario with you being Peter Jackson.

    This doesn't equate to being owned. It just means i'm less white than you. And less of a ***.

    Do you really believe that Dixon lost a third of his fights?

    He is thought to have had over 800 for a start.

    I'm not saying you should have picked him you heap of horsemeat, i thought it was funny that you thought it was a green version of the Jack Dempsey who won the hevyweight championship.

    It would have been even funnier if Pachilles actually had any credibility in the first place.
