    The south african super-bantams(N'Cita, Bungu, even Ledwaba) would have most likely been very tough fights for Morales and MAB.

    and also the 60's Peruvians who excelled against and were all wrong stylistically for mainstream fighters

    And the criminally under-comercialised Tajikstan Row fighters from the 30s

    And the under-appreciated, subtlely skilled Labourers Crew from the early 20's (Fireman kid, Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Negro Miner man, Chocolate Farmhand etc)

    Basilio edges Duran at WW

    Fitzsimmons is massively overrated by a few classic posters, partly because he fits the criteria of being very white and really old-school.

    Mike Tyson may in fact be the greatest H2H HW regardless of how disturbing it may be to old-time classic posters who despise the excessive hype and popularity from the youtube generation.

    Rocky Graziano actually was a face first crowd pleasing brawler.

    Manny Pacquiao at his best (140ish range) doesn't get handled or destroyed by dozens of classic textbook boxers. He may pick his fair share of loses, but his speed-power-athleticism and tenacity combined with his much improved skills and ability would make him a force and keep him in almost any match.
