    That's a fine list full of fighters I love...

    I would like to add early 40's Joe Louis (would now reak havok over the CW division) and late 40's Willie Pep (Nice matchups with Gamboa, John, Lopez etc...)

    That I would pay for to see, no matter how short the fight will be :yep
    I paid good money to see Haye getting KO'd last time and it didn't happen :twisted:, but against Tyson it's almost a certainty.

    Calzaghe and prime RJJ at 168 - would probably **** all over the super 6 fighters today

    Hamed at featherweight - will add what is lacking at a potentially hot division, against gamboa, donaire, loperz

    SRL and duran at 147 - SRL probably hugs all the belt right now:deal

    The problem is with people like Ali and Tyson is there would be no one to fight at Heavyweight apart from Wlad and Vitali who would both get destroyed

    Would love to see Henry Armstrong taking on Manny and Floyd

    You seriously believe Ali would destroy Wlad and Vitali?! :?
    You probably never saw Ali fight... he almost never "destroyed" his opponents, and certainly not when they were big (and big back then was 220+ lbs).
    I believe Tyson would be a stylistic nightmare for Wlad, but Tyson vs Vitali will be a very good fight in wich I slightly favour Tyson 3/2.

    Iv seen just about every Ali pro fight at least once even if it is just hightlights. The main ones like your Fraziers and Foremans even the shambolic fight that was Larry Holmes iv watched more times than I care to remember. Silly comment really to say iv never seen him fight.

    The 1964-67 Ali did destroy people. Not in a Tyson demolition way but 12-15 rounds of punishment. He would do the same to the Klits bros in my opinion

    good call, I'd like to see Sam Langford too. How they deal with fighters of today, and see if both of them would still end up in top 5 of every classic poster's ATG list:deal
