    Pick a Champion... imagine him against every Champion in his division... ever! Could he win, yes or no? Just a yes or no is required but if you wanna add more feel free.

    Fragomeni- yes
    Erdei- yes

    Cole- yes
    Washington- yes

    Czyz- yes/did (at HW)
    Norris- yes
    Miller- yes
    Tiozzo- yes

    WBO-
    Pultz- yes
    Havnaa- yes

    Michalczewski- yes
    R. Rocchigiani- yes
    Thompson- yes
    Nelson- yes
    Maccarinelli - yes
    Ramirez- yes
    Huck- yes

    Toughest fights?

    Qawi was very tough for Holyfield in their first fight WSD15. It was only Holyfield's 12th pro fight though. Holyfield stopped him in 4 in the rematch. the onkly other fighter to stop Qawi was Foreman (KO7).

    Others that might give him trouble are-

    Haye, Adamek, Cole, Norris, Toney, and Cunningham... but probably not too much trouble.

    Benny Leonard @ lightweight
    I don't fell like typing or copy/pasting the name of every lightweight champion. The answer for each is Yes.
    His youghest bouts are Prenell Whitaker, Shane Mosley and Ike Williams.

    I think JMW would be interesting.

    Ray Leonard, Hearns, McCallum, Benitez, Duran, Julian Jackson, Norris, Curry, Mosley, Wright, DeLaHoya, Trinidad, and some others.

    How about Ray Leonard at JMW?

    Could he beat all of the JMW Champs on his best day? Would he lose to any?
