Hypothetical Match Up Game

Leonard and quite clearly...To big and skilled for Shane's style to have any effect.

P.S Personally I wouldnt go with Harada by KO...Moon was tough and generally kissed the canvas because of the openings his super aggressive, free swinging style caused not because his chin was weak. Harada wasnt exactly a huge puncher at any weight anyways.
I think Masahiko would have to fight a careful fight, constantly jabbing and moving but being cautious not to trade to much with Moon..I think he would clearly outpoint him but yeah I dont see him stopping Moon.


Esteban De Jesus vs Stevie Johnston

 

Dejesus was too sharp and powerful and Stevie, although Stevie would have his moments. Dejesus by UD, or late TKO.

Terry Norris vs Marlon Starling

 

Starling breaks him down and stops him late.

Starling had too tight a guard for Norris to do much of anything, blazing hand speed and combinations withstanding.

If Starling could take what Breland, Honeyghan, Brown, Curry and Barret threw at him, he can weather a early Norris storm and take the chinny Norris out late.

Really, I don't think Norris had a substantially better chin the Breland.

 

Oh, Mark Breland vs Ike Quartey.

 

Ike was way too strong and powerful for the fragile Breland to handle. Ike walks Breland down and destroys him within 6.

Edwin Rosario vs Mando Ramos

 

Great fight, Ramos in a wild affair. Cut & bleeding to storm back late. Mando 10th round TKO.

Andy Ganigan .Vs. Ricky Hatton

 

Anything's possible with this one, but I'd take Abraham's better technique and straighter punching to carry the day for him.

Abraham by 7th or 8th round stoppage, in a war.


Next up: Jeff Fenech vs. Johnny Famechon - for the title of best Aussie featherweight.

 

An all out battle with Mormeck hanging on for a slight split decision win.

Earnie Shavers .Vs. Sonny Liston

 

Liston controls the first with his jab, gets shaken by a Shavers right as he presses the issue in the second, and Earnie moves forward to finish. In doing so, he leaves himself open for a Liston uppercut and drops like a stone. End fight. KO 2 Liston.

Battle of two journeymen who managed to win titles:

Saoul Mamby vs. Freddie Pendleton

 

While giving Shavers a punchers chance...I'll take liston in 2 or 3 as he overwhelms ernie...

Boza edwards vs Azumah Nelson SFW

 

Beat to the punch again!!!

 

None of them did though, and he fought the best of the best of that era, in the best era in the division's history (Konadu, Roman, Zapata, etc.). Not to mention he had a great chin.
