    So, by weight, choose your favourite fighters, and match them against mine. Should be fun.

    HW - Lennox Lewis
    CW - Oleksandr Usyk
    LHW - Ezzard Charles
    SMW - Billy Joe Saunders
    MW - James Toney
    JMW - Tommy Hearns
    WW - Kid Gavalin
    SLW - Ricky Hatton
    LW - Roberto Duran
    SFW - Cornelius Boza Edwards
    FW - Bobby Chacon
    SBW - Guillermo Rigindeuax
    BW - Ryan Burnett
    Sfly - Sor Rungvisai
    Fly - Jorge Arce
    Jfly - Hilario Zapata

    Should make for some interesting fights, or one sided ones.

    The divisions I omitted are those where we share the same favorite fighter

    HW: Joe Louis
    LWH: Bob Foster
    SMW: Andre Ward
    MW: Stanley Ketchel
    WW: Sugar Ray Leonard
    SLW: Kostya Tszyu (we saw this one)
    JLW: Alexis Arguello (we also saw this one)
    FW: Juan Manuel Marquez
    JFW: Erik Morales
    BW: Rafael Marquez
    Superflyweight: Gerry Penalosa

    Of my guys, I think Ward, Leonard, Arguello, and the Marquez brothers win. I think Charles and Foster could split a 3 fight series 2-1 for either guy. Louis, Ketchell, and Tszyu would lose lopsidedly, and Penalosa would drop a majority decision.

    I guess we all like watching Hatton fight, even though he's a classless person.

    I like Saunders too...and I still hold out hope that he'll eventually meet Cheatelo and pull a Pastrano on him and box and move all night and win on points.

    I haven't seen all of them so I'll mark that on each bit.

    HW - Lewis
    CW - Usyk
    LHW - Charles
    SMW - Eubank
    MW - Toney
    LMW - Hearns
    WW - Gavalin
    LWW - Tie
    LW - Duran
    SFW - Nelson
    FW - Saldivar
    SBW - never seen Fenech
    BW - again ^
    Sfly - Tapia
    Fly - never seen
    Lfly - Zapata

    So that's 8-4-1 with 3 to go.

    Lewis KOs Dempsey. In 2.
    Lmao Charles beat the **** outta Moore
    Monzon UD Toney
    Gavalin UD Pacquiao
    Duran UD Nelson
    Saddlers destroys Chacon.
    Macias looks better than Burnett. Wins by TKO.
    Wilde puts Arce in a body bag.

    Lol that's 4-4 but Charles beat Moore 3 times....

    I win.

    never seen Fenech? Or Betulio? That needs to change!

    I still pick Holy over Usyk but can see either pick. I go McCallum over Hearns but again either is fine. Montgomery has a shot, but with no footage I have a hard time picking him over Duran so I reluctantly agree. I am also beginning to think that my Hatton might be better than your Hatton but need to see a little bit more footage.
