    No one is discussing. According to the poll so far the only fight is not a mismatch is hagler vs bhop.

    Rocky Marcinano vs Prime Vitli Klitschko = Klit, just far far to big.
    Hagler vs Hopkins = Hopkins I feel bit to smart and would tie him up, may be boring
    Tommy Hearns vs Paul Williams = Hearns by KO
    Duran vs Cotto = Duran by KO
    Willie pep vs Floyd Jr. = Floyd UD

    Even between modern and Classic for me

    The only fair matchup on the list Hagler vs Hopkins. I feel that Hagler would just outwork and overwhelm Hopkins. Surprisingly, Hagler would get the better of the clinches, which Bernard would instigate. I don't see Hopkins gaining Haglers repect with his punches, his chin was granite.

    Hagler close UD

    Duran mops the ring with Cotto.
    Williams gets a concussion in 4 rds max
    Klitschko far too big and strong for Marciano

    Floyd too big and fast for Pep, whose only chance to win would have to overly aggressive which he wouldn't. Floyd would be accurate with his punches as usually and may choose to chase him down and possibly stop him late.

    Marciano would lose pretty badly imo.

    You should of maybe put him in a crusierweight fight..

    Fighting at featherweight, in his prime (pre-plane crash) Pep beats anyone. Period.

    Pep was a featherweight, hardly fair to put him in against Floyd. I didn't vote on it.

    Vitali too big for Marciano.
    I voted Hagler against Hopkins but it could go either way.
    Hearns and Duran easy.
