    Imagine you're a promoter and you have to make the biggest possible mismatches you can think of.

    Here's the criteria:

    -Fighters have to be around the same weight divisions. Moving up or down a step is acceptable.

    -Fighters have to have either held a world title (any version will do) or fought someone who had one at the time

    BONUS: -an added bonus is if they're from the same era, but they don't have to be.

    Antonio Margarito vs Paulie Malignaggi (even though they both fought Cotto).

    Sometimes Margarito smiles when he gets hit. In this case, he would probably start laughing.
