    Matching up the best fighters in each division (according to the Ring).

    How do these fights go down?

    Lennox Lewis vs Wladimir Klitschko
    Juan Carlos Gomez vs Steve Cunningham
    Roy Jones Jr. vs Jean Pascal
    Sven Ottke vs Andre Ward
    Bernard Hopkins vs Sergio Martinez
    Felix Trinidad vs Kermit Cintron
    Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao
    Kostya Tszyu vs Tim Bradley
    Jose Luis Castillo vs Juan Manuel Marquez
    Diego Corrales vs Mzonke Fana
    Naseem Hamed vs Juan Manuel Lopez
    Marco Antonio Barrera vs Toshiaki Nishioka
    Paulie Ayala vs Fernando Montiel
    Masamori Tokuyama vs Hugo Cazares
    Eric Morel vs Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
    Ricardo Lopez vs Giovani Segura
    Jose Antonio Aguirre vs Nkosinathi Joyi

    Some great matchups as well as some mismatches. Don't know a lot about the lower weight guys but I'm sure some will.

    We're actually getting Mosley vs Pac this year but remember this is a prime Mosley. Just goes to show how Shane has kept himself relevant after all these years.

    If Hopkins had got the decision over Pascal he'd have appeared for both years which just shows how great he is.

    I'm not expecting everyone to know enough about each and every fighter (I certainly don't) but hopefully there's some healthy discussion and debate.

    Lennox Lewis vs Wladimir Klitschko

    Lewis by brutal KO.

    Juan Carlos Gomez vs Steve Cunningham
    Roy Jones Jr. vs Jean Pascal

    RJJ by 12 round beat down.

    Sven Ottke vs Andre Ward

    In USA Ward UD in Germany Ottke UD either way highly controversial.

    Bernard Hopkins vs Sergio Martinez

    Martinez by DQ

    Felix Trinidad vs Kermit Cintron

    Trinidad by TKO

    Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao

    Mosley TKO too big, too strong, too loaded.

    Kostya Tszyu vs Tim Bradley

    Tszyu by KO

    I'm yet to become a believer of Bradley.

    Jose Luis Castillo vs Juan Manuel Marquez

    Tough one, I think I'll go for a UD for Castillo

    Diego Corrales vs Mzonke Fana

    Fairly comfortable UD for Corrales I think.

    Naseem Hamed vs Juan Manuel Lopez

    Hamed by TKO

    Marco Antonio Barrera vs Toshiaki Nishioka

    MAB by UD

    I'll leave the rest as my knowledge on the weights is not what it could be.

    Paulie Ayala vs Fernando Montiel
    Masamori Tokuyama vs Hugo Cazares
    Eric Morel vs Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
    Ricardo Lopez vs Giovani Segura
    Jose Antonio Aguirre vs Nkosinathi Joyi

    Great idea for a thread ishy, I've been wondering about something like this for a while

    At first glance, it seems like 2001 has much more solid fighters most of the way down. Maybe its just 2010 has guys that having been able to prove themselves yet, to fully establish their legacy. But some divisions have guys who have already been beaten in their prime, or could barely be considered #1.

    Cintron-Trinidad made me laugh when I was typing it out.

    JMM-Corrales would have being awesome! Mosley-Pac would have being something special as well.

    Bradley has the style to beat tyszu, tyszu would not dominate him as many people think, tyszu had issues with guys who could pressure him on the inside. And if bradley could rest his head on tyszu chest and pressure him, kostay would be ****ed but in contrast if it was fought on the outside bradley would get KTFO by 1 of tyszus streight right hands.

    Who has Cintron ever ducked?

    Margarito x2 (even after getting knocked out by him once), Martinez, and Williams.

    He's a puto for sure, but he'll fight anyone.

    None of whom are anywhere near as destructive as Tito was!

    I'll go through this properly tomorrow (good thread) but a few decimations in there (Lewis KO1 Wlad, Lopez destroys Segura inside 3 rounds, Corrales brutalises Fana, Roy toys with Pascal and takes him out in five rounds or so) as well as easy UD for Hopkins against Sergio.

    Again, good thread :good

    hamed would absolutely brutalize lopez, lopez gets caught and hurt by guys who have lesser power in comparison to hamed, he'll be out for the count for sure.

    Yep, Naz would spark Lopez early, possibly after touching down himself in the first.
