    Sanchez - Gomez is the first that comes to mind. Probably been posted already though.

    If Hamed ever gets into the HOF then Hamed v Barrera.

    :deal Now you will hear bunch of deluded fans explaining Hamed was shot, not understanding MAB made him look shot, figured him out completely.

    Nunn toney is as close as you get to 2 guys who are both absolute legends at their prime


    Arguably jones toney

    Idk, toney couldn't make weight and didn't look anywhere near his best that night

    I think in retrospect
    Pacquiao cotto was very close to both their primes

    Martinez Williams 1 wasn't too far off their primes

    Kid Chocolate-Canzoneri. Arguably the greatest filmed fight in history when it comes to two historically skilled operators

    Kid chocolate went 100-0 as an amateur. Unreal when you think about it.

    Some fighters are just that good where when they're out of their primes they can still get big wins against top competition...

    Mosley was not in his prime when he demolished prime Margarito. Hopkins wasn't in his prime when he spanked prime Pascal
    Ray Robinson and Ali made careers beating top competition out of their primes.

    Just goes to show, it's safe to assume a prime Pep would have demolished Saddler... But him beating Saddler doesn't prove he was prime
