v Sot Chitalda

 

Mike Tyson
Gene Tunney
Harry Greb
Ray Leonard
Benny Leonard
Salvador Sanchez
Pete Herman
Jimmy Wilde

 

Verry competitive matches here.

Most of them would be toss ups.

 

The 90's is a hard one to make...

Lennox or Holyfield?
Roy Jones Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
Whitaker
De La Hoya?
Naseem Hamed?
Veeraprol Sahaprom?
Manny Pacquiao?

I also thought I'd pick tunney for my 80s choice, thinking back on it.

Heavy= Jack Dempsey v Mike Tyson

I think athletically Tyson has the edge on everything here. They would both go for it early but I like Tysons extra strength to make the going harder on Dempsey and he would wear out first in a great fight of around 6 full action rounds.

Light Heavy= Gene Tunney v Michael Spinks

Spinks is an awkward proposition for anyone, much less for a pure boxer like Tunney. I really do think Tunney struggles here as he finds Spinks very hard to figure out and Spinks can get ahead with his hard right counterpunch landing, on Tunney alot, leading Tunney to be wary and Spinks to get off first and have the slight upperhand for the duration.
Close decision win for Spinks.

Middleweight= Harry Greb v Marvin Hagler

Greb is a whirlwind punches from all angles, Hagler I think can fight back well here though, with his hard and fast combinations and good boxing ability. I think Hagler is able to keep greb off of him with some stiff punches, and this would force Greb to constantly change angle and keep Hagler off balance. I think Greb takes a very marginal decision, afew points in it.

Welterweight= Mickey Walker v Ray Leonard

I dont know enough on Walker, regrettably.

Lightweight= Benny Leonard v Alexis Arguello

I would pick Arguello over Chavez here, but just and no more. I think Leonard is a real good pure boxer when he wants to be and his mobility will cause Arguello some problems but when Leonard does open up Arguello will go with him and make it very interesting, but Leonards extra mobility probably gives him the edge here in a 9-6 sorta decision.

Featherweight= Johnny Dundee v Salvador Sanchez

Dont know enough about Dundee

Bantamweight= Pete Herman v Jeff Chandler

I can't provide a great anaylisis here but from what I know/have seen I think Herman wins.

Flyweight= Jimmy Wilde v Sot Chitalda

Wilde is a whirwind, I can see him being abit like Chang in beating Chitilada. Hard fast combinations launched in from Wilde forcing back Chitilada but Wilde is fairly elusive with his head movement and accurrate with his shots, picking apart the tall upright boxer.
