Would've been great if he could have defected from Cuba after the Munich Olympics, and turned pro. He was 20 years old at that time, and would...
Larry "The Legend" Donald
Totally agree. It was, however, a clean shot, and he etched his place in boxing lore with that flash KD. Galento probably wouldn't be mentioned...
Futch (or maybe Kevin Rooney) working with Tua from the start of his pro career would have been interesting.
Don't know if this is exactly what the OP is looking for, but if Teofilo Stevenson turned pro after the '72 Olympics at the age of 20, him and...
Frankie Warren UD10 Buddy McGirt in their first fight.

Andy Ruiz James Toney at Heavyweight Struggling to come up with any non-Heavyweight contender type who I'd categorize as a "porker", but...
I had Brett Lally beating Donald Curry. Curry was fresh off a loss to Rene Jacquot in a fight in which he looked shot, really having no legs. I...
