Fights between ATGs where one fighter was prime and the other was shot… (READ FIRST POST)

Leonard Camacho

 

Dempsey Tunney

 

The sub text was " different winner if both in prime " not sure a prime Olivares beats a prime Arguello ?? are you buddy.

 

Good god man, you just done and named him. You now need to wash your mouth out with soap.

 

I personally disagree on both counts but I know some believe that a prime Jeffries would’ve beaten Johnson and that a prime Nelson would’ve overcome Sal Sanchez if they had rematched.

 

Tyson vs Holmes.

Prime for prime this is one of my favorite h2h matchups, I find it more interesting then Ali vs Tyson.

 

Tyson Holmes with Holmes being at his peak is almost uninteresting. It would basically be a rerun of the Douglas fight.

Ali would have to fight differently. He didn't have a punishing jab like Holmes (or Douglas). He had a real quick scorer but it wouldn't grind Tyson down like Buster's did. I think he'd win a lopsided UD, not knock him out.

 

Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao

 

Tyson knocks Holmes out again. Larry Holmes does not get the credit for something Buster Douglas did.

 

Ali-Williams

 

Kostya Tszyu vs Julio Cesar Chavez

Not sure if you rate Tszyu as ATG ? But he was first undisputed champion at that weight class in like 30 years and made alot of defenses.

 

McGuigan v Pedroza
LeDoux v Driscoll
Berbick v Ali
Downes v Robinson
Minter v Griffith
Stracey v Napoles

 

Louis vs Charles - I just don't think Ezzard showed enough in their actual matchup to put him ahead of prime Louis. 1950 Joe had no reflex and damaged brain, yet he remained competitive throughout the fight.
