    Excellent concept and list. Mine would probably look like this

    HW - Joe Frazier vs Rocky Marciano
    LHW - Marvin Johnson vs Yvon Durrele
    MW - Jake LaMotta vs Tony Zale
    WW - Mickey Walker vs Roberto Duran
    LW - Ike Williams vs Carlos Ortiz
    FW - Henry Armstrong vs Sandy Saddler
    BW - Fighting Harada vs Ruben Olivares
    Fly - Jung Koo Chang vs Sung Kil Moon

    HMs to Gatti vs Chacon at 130, that's my dream fantasy fight.

    I'll try and limit this to fights that could, or almost could, have happened with the fighters being of similar eras. There are some glaring omissions from over 50 years ago but my knowledge is sketchy past the 60s. Sorry to those with better knowledge going back further decades.

    I know some of these fights happened. I just think in another time and at another weight, they would be interesting. I haven't tried to pick a winner, either. In most cases, I don't really know.

    HW: Lewis-Bowe (93 and 95)
    LHW: Spinks - Saad
    MW: Jones-McLellan
    WW: Hearns - Duran
    LW: Ortiz - Napoles (Jose would have been a LW in the 60s)
    FW: Sanchez - Pedroza
    BW: Galaxy - Canizales O
    FW: Chiquita Gonzalez v Too Sharp Johnson

    As for middle divisions

    CrW: Holy - Cooper
    SMW: Toney - McLellan (G-Man moves up in 93/94)
    JrMW: McCallum - Norris
    JrWW: Pryor - Benitez
    SrFW: Chavez v Sanchez (in 84 if Salvador hadn't died)
    SrBW: Hamed - Barrera (in 95)
    JrBW: Sorry, no great idea about this division. I know Galaxy was the standout and that Pac and Barrera started there.
    Jr Fly: Carbajal v Finito Lopez

    these fighters (among others), have always been a bit of an intrigue to me for varying reasons.

    HW - Joe Louis vs Mike Tyson
    LHW - Sam Langford vs Dwight Qawi
    MW - McAvoy vs Gilroy
    WW - Fritzie Zivic vs Ernie Roderick
    LW - Tony Canzoneri vs Camacho
    FW - Henry Armstrong vs Jeff Fenech
    BW - Joe Bowker vs whomever, I don't know too much about this division...
    Fly - Wilde vs Lynch and/or Carbajal against either
