    Welterweight= Ray Leonard (70s) v Ray Leonard (80s) – 1-7

    This one is headed for overtime, unless Carlos Monzon can salvage a spectacular comeback against Marvin Hagler in the next 5 minutes or so, when the winner is announced.

    Ali over Tyson by Dec.
    Spinks over Foster tko 10.
    Hagler over Monzon by Dec.
    80's Leonard, in his prime here in my eyes.
    Duran in a super tough fight, Chavez had a steel chin so this would not be easy for Duran. But still Duran close SD.
    Sanchez by Dec.
    Olivares by dec tough fight
    Canto Dec

    70s - 4 80s - 3 Draw 1

    The 70s have staged an astonishing come from behind win, with Monzon just getting up and tying with Hagler, and also Miguel Canto finishing very strongly in a match he was originally struggling with against Jung Koo Chang.

    You should have used Napoloes for 70s heavyweight and maybe Arguello
    for 70s Featherweight.

    I have 70s edging it 4-3-1. Originally i picked Hagler which would have made it a tie, but i can just as easily see Monzon winning. I took the easy way out and called it a draw. Although Bennie Briscoe (who fought both) has said that Monzon would have beat Hagler.

    Interestingly, here 70s Ali is beating 80s Tyson 8-2 in votes.
    Whereas 70s Ali went 10-10 with Lewis of the 2000s.

    But, in my topic about who has the best chance of beating Peak Ali:
    Tyson was 1st with 15 votes, Frazier 2nd with 13 votes & Lewis 3rd with 10 votes.
