    He was too small, Bud`s reach would be too much.

    It would have been interesting those two being the same age in this era and in their primes.

    Unfortunately I bet that they would be dodged and ducked like the plague.

    Specially Hearns, we were lucky to have this such a special fighter in the era we had him, so that we could see him fully developing his potential.

    Actually I would like to do the oposite, to take a today's fighter and to put him in another era. I would like to put crawford and canelo in the fab four era. And, what the hell, mayweather too. In an era where ducking was not an option, and to see them all fighting all and be able to measure all of them.

    But taking an atg guy from another era to today's era.... it's actually a waste. Dodge, duck, dodge, duck, skip, dodge, skip, dodge, duck.... we would only get tons of frustration.

    I cant count how many fighters couldnt properly develop their skills and legacy because of so many nasty duckers.

    Bring back morales. For no special reason. I miss him so much, one of my favourite fighters ever. I just miss him, boxing not the same without morales for me :(

    Muhammad Ali! His footwork was decades ahead when he was fighting, im wondering how it will hold up against bigger HWs of this era. Its just sad that the American HWs went from an ultra skilled and silky Ali, to something like a one handed bomber in WIlder.

    There are Morons out there who say Tyson would be to small for these Super Heavyweights...What a Prime Tyson or let alone Prime Foreman would do to this lot of Heavyweights is a scary thought indeed...

    His ring entrances alone would be off the scale. He might parachute into the ring or drop rope SAS style.

    Peak Holyfield Vs peak Usyk at cruiser.

    Brilliant acid test for both men.

    Could possibly turn into a trilogy. First two fights at cruiser then the 3rd fight at Heavyweight a few years later.

    How much dough would they feckin' earn????

    Clenelo needs an old ATG to make a statement on.Beterbiev is almost ripe. If Beterbiev is younger than him Saul's gonna be stuck at 169,5 lb forever. Do you really want that? Have you no feelings?

    I'm not certain Lomachenko could have beaten Hector Camacho at 130-135.Then you've got Ken Buchanan and Estaban DeJesus, those are better fighters than Teofimo Lopez.
