    Regardless of who'd win it or not
    Here is my list:
    Heavyweight-Georgre Foreman vs Earnie Shavers
    Cruiserweight-Evander Holyfield vs Tomas Adamek
    Light Heavyweight: Roy Jones Jr. vs Matthew Saad Muhammad
    Super Middleweight-Ray Leonard vs Joe Calzague
    Middleweight-Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs Harry Greb
    Junior Middleweight-Thomas Hearns vs John Mugabi
    Welterweight-Pipino Cuevas vs Julian Jackson
    Junior Welterweight-Aaron Pryor vs Julio Cesar Chavez sr..
    Lightweight-Roberto Duran vs Ray Mancini
    Junior Lightweight-Arturo Gatti vs, Bobby Chacon
    Featherweight-Danny Lopez vs. Rafael Limon
    Junior Featherwieght-Wilfredo Gomez vs Jaime Garza
    Bantamweight-Ruben Olivares vs. Lupe Pintor
    Junior Bantamweight-Johnny Tapia vs Juan Carazo
    Flyweight-Jimmy Wilde vs Pascual Perez
    Jr Flyweight-Michael Carbajal vs Jung Koo Chang
    Strawweight-Ricardo Lopez vs. Roman Gonzalez

    Again I want to reiterate, Im not talking about fights that took place. i admit I almost wrote Danny Lopez vs Ruben Olivares, at featherweight, but these are fantasy fights. if I wanted real fights, Ali vs Frazier 1 or 3 or Marciano-Walcott 1 would be at Heavyweight, Hagler-Hearns at Middleweight, Gatti-Ward 1, 2 or 3 or Pryor- Arguello 1 at Junior Welterweight, Lopez-Malvares, Lopez-Olivares, Lopez-Castanon, Sanchez-Gomez or Sanchez-Nelson or Barrera-Morales 2 or Hamed-Kelley at Featherwieght, Gomez-Pintor or Morales-Barrera 1.........

    Err...thats not the point. And also not who you think would win them. Hearns-Mugabi, Duran-Mancini and Gomez-Garza should be pretty obvious in that respect, I think. I just want to see which fantasy fights you can come up with that you think would be the best action packed bouts in the division's history.

    Now, your lists, ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen and ladies and boys and girls, girls and boys and men and women, women and men!

    Might come back to edit this post later to add more, but... Douglas - Moorer will probably always be my favorite fantasy fight at Heavyweight. It would just be so damn dramatic and epic. Makes me get giddy like a kid when I think about those two exchanging jabs and combinations as the pendulum swings back and forth.

    I'll say this wholeheartedly, I think that action in fights is so much more intense when both parties have weak or weak-ish chins. One guy gets floored or hurt, but then it happens to the other guy, and then it comes back around. Every punch becomes one that could finish the opponent off, every landed blow makes so much more of a difference, it's just beautiful.

    Alan Rudkin...
    He was another Ruben Castillo-Earnie Shavers in that respect.

    It's too bad he had to go to Australia for his first world title try against Lionel Rose and then face Ruben Olivares, an all time great , for his second world title try. He might have had better luck in London with Rose, and that Olivares apple was a bit high off the tree for mostly every Bantamweight in boxing history.
