    Not a remotely tough call for me. Tyson vs Holyfield, and by a very, very, very wide margin, for the simple reason that I'm far more uncertain and far more curious about how that would have gone.

    Tyson-Holyfield would've been a pretty even match in 1991 and a war.

    Mayweather-Pac would've been a repeat of 2015 with a few more punches thrown. Marquez already put the writing on the wall for Pac. Manny's hot streak did not include any elite counterpunchers, other than Marquez who made him look ordinary.

    you do.
    you just had a shyt storm over how much better pedquiao would have fared in 2010
    in 2010 floyd demanded ped testing from pedquiao who refused...fear of needles and all.
    but if they had fought, peddie would have had ped testing and would have fared just as abysmally.
    thank you.

    That too, but I think that’s another dull decision win for RJJ.

    Even if they were the same size, I’m picking RJJ but a dull decision. But Hopkins going up 2 divisions makes it even harder for me to picture a Hopkins win.
