    If you had a hybridizing machine, and you had the ability to resurrect any two prime heavyweight boxers in history, who would you choose to create the perfect (or as close to perfect as possible) heavyweight fighter?

    This is a very difficult question with hundreds of possible answers. Before writing this post, I was thinking about 50 combinations of two boxers.

    Here's my entry:

    Prime Larry Holmes with Wilder's right. I pick Wilder for the power upgrade because of the match in terms of build (long arms), hand speed, and his power punch seeming to fit well with Holmes's jab. Imagine Larry's ability to land his 1-2 to the face, with the right being Wilder's.

    Edit: also, give Wilder's height and reach to Larry to put him on more even footing with SHWs today.

    Tyson Fury/Hughie Fury

    A Tyson Fury with Hughie's iron chin and double the dose of Gypsy Slickness would be unbeatable
