Matchups where you think an opponent has no chance against the other?

Any H2H involving current fighters vs greats from most past eras. Modern guys get obliterated.

 

No apology necessary my friend.

 

Dude, Itauma is gonna bash Hrgovic to pieces. LOL at that big chump eating bombs until he falls ...

 

Usyk smashes most greats from the past. Has a solid chance against the goats.

 

This one hurts to admit but I don't see Mathew Saad Muhammad beating Dwight Qawi even at an earlier stage of his career. Qawi could slip and slide on Mathew catching him clean too often.

 

Yeah because he's beaten who, exactly?

 

I would heavily favor Duran in a rematch with Hearns wherein Duran was prepared and focused versus the version that entered the ring against Hearns. I know that the triangulation principal does not always work in the sport but Duran beat the equally large Barkley, the one that owned Hearns, five years after the Hearns fight, when he seemed more motivated even if older.

 

Good post. I don't agree with it but well thought out.
I don't believe a 34 year old Duran fought much like a 29 year old Duran. Big difference in quickness, the ability to close distance, work rate was not the same. At 147 Duran would be at least as strong as Hearns.
Hearns was less experienced at Welterweight as the Leonard fight showed. I don't know if he would have the same confidence that he did later in 1984. We know Tommy did have defensive lapses that cost him at times, his defense wasn't airtight.
That is not to say Duran is a sure bet to beat him. It would be tough to overcome Hearns natural advantages. I believe Duran the ability to do it but he would need to be at the top of his game. He wasn't supposed to beat Ray Leonard because Ray was bigger, younger, faster etc.
Based on the things I mentioned I probably would have it a pickem fight.

 

I think Duran beats Hearns at 147. People forget Duran was 33 with 82 pro fights under his belt, and coming down in weight to 154 after a very close loss to Hagler at 160, not exactly the best version of Duran.

I don't think any version of Tyson beats Holyfield.

No version of Spence beats Crawford.

 

Absolutly can't see how Maskaev could've beaten Nagy Aguilera. I actually predicted that Aguilera will KO him in 1, and exactly that's happened. Surely, it was shot Maskaev, but I can't see him getting past ANY quick opponent (and Aguilera was quick) cause Maskaev was slow as hell in his prime and always had glass jaw. All his best opponents that he had beaten weren't even remotely quick.

 

how about the latest Andy Ruiz fight? His opponent looked a good 8 inches and just picked him apart with the jab.

Andy with his heavy feet, just had no chance. I think he should retire

 

I agree, I'm a huge Duran fan and I didn't bet on his fight with Hearns because I thought Hearns would win mainly because Duran had cashed the Hagler fight check and was hanging out in Las Vegas partying .Even Duran years later said he was a shameless ******* the way he didn't prepare for Hearns. But That was Duran after the age of 30, you never knew what you'd get. The Kirkland Laing effort, or the Iran Barkley display.
