    ...that would bring the best out in a certain boxer, or even both. Explain your reasoning behind said match-up aswell.

    (I think bringing past boxers into would be too easy, but feel free to do so...but try not to put it down as simple as, "SLR would dominate all WW's today"...or "Foreman would KO the Klitschko's"...etc).

    Maybe bring styles into the equation...:good

    Hagler against Hopkins. Would be funny to see Hagler chase down Hopkins all night and B-Hop trying everything to slow down the pace!!

    Lewis vs Foreman. I'd like to see Foreman taking bombs from Lewis's right and how he would react. And how Lewis would react to the best slugger of history :p

    Edit: forgot to give my explanations

    Hasegawa vs Rafa Marquez-Entertaining fighters who are new to the featherweight division. Both guys can fight, both guys can box. Just think a fight between the two would have several momentum shifts.

    Pavlik vs. Andrade- 2 strong guys who throw a lot of punches and have pretty porous defenses, even though one or the other might land more shots it will ultimately feel like a battle of wills.

    Froch vs Cloud (Froch seems to at least have some interest in LHW)- Both guys like nothing more than a good scrap. I think if Froch went to LHW this is a fight that we'd find out just how tough he is. Cloud has fantastic power...but kind of sucks at finishing at the world class level, so Froch would take a beatng at certain points. Froch has talked about the adrenaline rush he gets from fighting, so we'd see how it will carry him in this fight. Plus, it would be entertaining.

    Bradley vs Maidana- Bradley is slick defensively but loves to brawl, even though he's faster than Maidana....Maidana's a tough customer(as we saw in the Khan fight). Both are volume punchers. I just think it would be an exciting fight.

    Margarito vs. Angulo- Nuff said

    Segura vs Roman Gonzalez

    Sergei Dzindziruk

    VS

    Andre Berto


    BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS MATCH UP FOR AWHILE NOW AND I REALLY THINK THIS MATCH UP IS THE ESSENCE OF A 50-50 TOSS UP BOUT COULD IMHO BE THE START OF THE NEXT ATG TRILORGY. TO SOMWHAT UNTESTED UNDIFEATED HUNGRY BANGERS WITH BOXING SKILL Dzindziruks JAB VS Bertos uppercut gets me all pumped up just thinking about it :bbb ONLY PROBLEM I SEE IS WHAT WOULD BE THE CONTRACT WEIGHT BE I.E. WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST PROFITABLE WEIGHT CLASS AND ALSO WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WEIGHT CLASS TO HAVE THE BOUT TAKE PLACE IN THAT WOULD HAVE THE BEST CHANCE TO SET UP OTHER GOOD BOUTS FOR THE WINNER AND FOR THE FANS ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE APRESHEATED
