    Something I always wondered about...

    WBA vs WBC champions in 1982.

    I will be listing only the champions that lasted the longest as champions and in the case thy actually fought well, then I will post the result of that match so there the guy who won wins by default. In Marvin Haglers case, im matching him versus Frank Fletcher, the only top 10 I can think of that he didnt fight. In Sugar Ray Leonard's case, he goes against Roger Sttaford.

    Lets start:
    Heavyweight: Larry Holmes KO12 Mike Weaver

    Cruiserweight: Ossie Ocasio vs. Carlos De Leon

    Light Heavyweight: Michael Spinks w15 Dwight Qawi

    Middleweight: Marvin Hagler vs. Frank Fletcher

    Junior Middleweight: Davey Moore ko2 Wilfred Benitez

    Welterweights: Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roger Sttaford

    Jr. Welterweights: Aaron Pryor vs Saoul Mamby

    Lightweights: Alexis Arguello KO14 Ray Mancini

    Junior Lightweight: Samuel Serrano vs. Rafael Limon

    Featherweights: Salvador Sanchez vs. Eusebio Pedroza

    Super Bantamweight: Wilfredo Gomez KO13 Leo Cruz (note: Cruz won the WBA title from Sergio Palma on June 12th, so that makes him, by mere days, the WBA champion that held the title longest that year, i would have liked to see your opinion on Gomez-Palma, which Im sure you'd agree, Gomez would win in six or less)

    Bantamweight:Jeff Chandler vs Lupe Pintor

    Junior Bantamweight: Chul ho Kim w15 Jiro Watanabe

    Flyweight: Santos Laciar vs. Freddy Casitllo (note: both Castillo and Prudencio Cardona lasted 4 months as WBC champions, but Castillo beat Cardona, therefore I am promoting Laciar vs Castillo instead)

    Junior Flyweight: Hilario Zapata vs Katsuo Tokasiki

    Who do you have on these fights?
