    Kelly The Ghost Pavlik v. Tall Paul Williams is the one i really, really wanted.

    Pac v. May in 2010.

    GGG v. Martinez.

    Loma v. Mikey before Mikey pussed out and sacrificed himself to Spence.

    LOL you can't even have a legit discussion about Floyd. It is obvious to anybody that knows boxing that him and Pac are the two best fighters of this generation and it maybe a very long time before we see anyone who comes close to either guy. As a mature boxing fan we should respect both men and never question their hearts as they are all time greats.

    Good thread, an old head example for me is Arguello vs Duran in 78, that would've been legendary.

    I'd have loved to see a fight between Zale and LaMotta, or Ezzard Charles and LaMotta.
    Wouldn't have complained to see Pintor vs Pedroza in 1980.
    Boza Edwards vs Azumah Nelson in 82.
    Bowe vs Lewis

    Lmao I'm such a nerd.

    Morales v Hamed.

    I picked Barrerra to beat Hamed, I wanted Morales to get there first.

    With Pac, Yes I agree He is without a doubt the fighter of his era. With Floyd, Yes he had incredible talent but where he failed was letting Nsac & Vegas boxing make him their cash cow. They protected him in every way so he couldn't
    lose in Vegas Sure they made him a very rich man BUT his legacy is severely tarnished. After all this is for the FIGHTER!! of the Era NOT the DIVA or the era
    Just my own personal opinion

    Mayweather was afraid, that simple
    There are some things Mayweather stayed away from...…..speed faster than he, Amir Khan, slippery defensive fighers like Spinks, and long and tall fighters with skill like Paul Williams.
    Then there is the Tijuana Tornado that was Antonio Margarito that Mayweather was scared shitless of.
    LOL!

    yeah this would have been good, if only just to demonstrate teh obvious - that RJJ would provide a schooling and that DM's "0" was a padded one.
