Rigondeaux, Mayweather, Andre Ward would probably be the three. Wladimir too but at least there’s the punch there to potentially end it early.
And that match naturally takes us to Terrell vs Terrell. What about Ingo vs Ingo? Both waiting for the other to throw a punch they can counter. Nice recipe for both being eventually DQ’d for passivity. Speaking of passivity - there’s the wild brawl that would be Bugner vs Bugner also.
What would be absolute torture is if all of those matches were held on the same card and for 15 rounds each.
Agreed but comeback Ali without any qualification of version wasn't something I'd agree with. FOTC or RITJ version versus himself, I would pay to see these rights. Wouldn't even watch the Holmes version of Ali in a charity fight.
True. Inconsistency and inflated ego were his biggest downfalls as he got older. Why train when you can come in overweight, shoeshine and still win the decisions aye?
I was going to say Lewis, less for the actual fight as, to be fair, he could be in some barnburners but more for the press conference. He already speaks about himself in the third person as it is. Put him in against himself and it would be awful. Imagine the banter for the cameras. 'All Lennox Lewis will say about his forthcoming fight with Lennox Lewis is that Lennox Lewis will be victorious.' 'Lennox Lewis agrees.'
Lennox Lewis would know he could chin Lennox Lewis if he could land the right shot. That might actually be a quick exciting fight.
You may be right. I always thought he was an extraordinarily cautious fighter, but I only saw a couple of his fights.
Knowing what Lennox Lewis could do to Lennox Lewis would cause Lennox Lewis to fight a very cautious fight. Imagine both fighters being cautious.
Heavyweight Christian Hammer vs. Christian Hammer immediately sprung to mind. Few swings and even most of those few would hit air.
True, it has the makings of the most boring card ever, difficult to choose the “main event” bout out of that lot..….Buffer be like: “Let’s get ready to snoooze!”
