    To those who say Hearns with a iron chin, you must also take into account that another one of his flaws was his lack of in-fighting ability and clinching/survival skills. Even with an Iron chin some fighter may be able to absorb Hearns' best shots and out fight him up-close.

    Could anyone think of a good assett for Ricardo Lopez? In his prime he was about as good as they get and I can't think of particular attribute he needed to improve on.

    No fighter will ever be unbeatable, but the closest you would come is a Hearns with a granite chin, that's for sure.

    How about Hopkins and stamina? I'm not talking about the "Executioner" version of Hopkins but the ring master of his 40's. Imagine that version of Hopkins having Pavlik/PBF type stamina. He would still be cautious and defensive by nature but he would throw his counter punches and lead right hands with more regularity. Which means he would win most of his rounds. And we all know how deadly accurate Hopkins usually is when he lets his hands go.

    Hopkins might not dominate anyone given his style but would anyone be able to actually beat him given his new stamina and the way he makes you look so bad?

    Staminia isn't what lost him the fight against Roy Jones Jr, he was outboxed.

    Yeah, but that version of Hopkins was not even close to being the ring master that he became later in his career. He was still being polished. He wasn't the same Hopkins that would take you out of your game and make you look bad.

    Hearns with a granite chin is frightening to think of

    Hearns (Chin) that is just plain scary

    Tyson(Discipline) Nuff Said. COULD have been a bigger monster.

    Malignaggi (Power) I might get blasted but this kid with power can be very dangerous.

    Let's add two attributes. Give Pavlik McCall's chin, and Zab's hand speed!

    The sanctioning bodies would have to make Tommy fight two at once!

    I agree with the whitaker comment.

    I couldnt help but think though that Prince Hamed was a poor man's whitaker with power.

    Pernell Whitaker with the naturally heavy hands of a Julian Jackson.

    What if Nicolay Valuev had Muhammad Ali-like speed?

    A 7+ foot, 300+ lb. guy with blazing speed?

    Wlad with a chin. Not only would he be difficult to knock-out, but his whole confidence would improve as a result making him a destructive force given his skills.

    Problem with these two are, Judah still has problematic stamina and chin

    Pavlik has major defensive issues. Okay, they would be way harder to exploit, but not unbeatable

    The most obvious would probably be Oscar De La Hoya.

    Give him dedication/stamina.
