    This is just for fun. Pick 2 fighters, past or present, and combine their best strengths and attributes to make a highly formidable fighter. They also have to be within the same weight class.
    For me I would combine Finito Lopez and Roman Gonzalez.

    Ricardo Lopez: Defense, jab, footwork, power, pure boxing skills
    Chocolatito: Aggression, stamina, pressure, nonstop punching, in-fighting skills

    Wlad and Vitali.

    That would be some HW.

    Or Wlad with Vitali's chin and mental strength.

    Fury with Wilder's power would be one of the greatest heavyweights in history.
    I'd include AJ but his chin sets him back a bit

    Jack Blackburn's brain in Joe Louis's body, but it only gets activated when the bell rings.
