    Sorry mate, missed that bit. For Hopkins v Hagler, I could see Hagler taking a close SD due to his aggression.

    Mosley's durability, own handspeed and power would see him stop Curry late I reckon.

    Curry was a fine, fine sharpshooter, but I don't think he's a pure boxer in the constant lateral movement mode, and those are the things that bother Mosley. Curry, for all his caginess and counter punching, came to fight and this would be his undoing against Mosley I feel. Bad style for Curry.

    :lol: you've got me thinking now. Just thinking about it...i an definatley see why you and anyone else would go for Sugar Shane. Curry was open to left hooks which Shane loves..yep i'm starting to sway a bit now :good

    :yep i agree. The more i think about it and you see what Lloyd and Mike McCallum did to him. I could see Shane's intensity and speed causing him to much trouble.

    James Toney vs. David Haye... the fight wouldn't be a spectacle but the build up would be fantastic!

    What do you consider prime Lewis, Jeff?

    1996 ish?

    I think the right hand happy athlete of 1992 gets underrated quite a lot because of the KO loss to McCall...... though he was certainly a bit more rounded as he got older, maybe reaching an absolute peak against Golota.

    Yep he was definately one of those fighters who improved as he got older. Its seems that, that youthful energy is sometimes detrimental to fighters. I'd say he peaked Golota, Grant etc, etc... Amazing fighter. He'd stand a chance with any fighter in history.
