    Imn talking about a an atg greater going into a fight at a weight that he is proven at and having no chance

    Mayweather and Pacquiao V Thomas Hearns at welter
    Duran v Hearns at welter is another
    joe frazier would have no chance v lewis, bowe and klitchkos imo

    I don't buy the Hearn's necessarily beats Duran at welter argument.

    :lol: Come off it, Hearns is Roberto Durans nightmare. I'd put money on a Hearns victory 10 times out of 10.

    Marciano vs. Foreman would end very badly very early. Absolutely hellish match up for Rock. I don't think he'd fare that much better than Frazier did, and that was one of the all time great ATG mismatches.

    Muhammad Ali would school most of the lower top 10 at heavyweight in his '67 form.

    Whitaker against Hearns at 147. I see literally no avenue to victory for Pea.

    Felix Trinidad against Sugar Ray Leonard at 147. Tito is a great fighter. He gets utterly thrashed in this match up. Make the Sugar Ray a Robinson? It ends early, but I think its a bit more fun while it lasts.

    You are really calling the Klitschko's all time greats?

    Frazier is IMO not a great, so standards really must be slipping if the Vitali and Vlad are getting anointed as greats.

    I remember when to be Great, was to be very special indeed...

    :deal I agree Duran was so much faster,better defenseviley and harder punching at WW.... The outcome would not be the same as the one at JM:nono Also i think Tommy was physically stronger at JM where as Duran was fleshy,weight drained and not mentally up for that fight.

    I think Arguello would have had a lot of trouble with Pernell at LW or JW.
    Sal Sanchez would have been all wrong for Manny at 126... I dont think it would be a mismatch though.
