    Tough one.Both are quite similar fighters really and while Forrest has by far the bigger profile wins over Mosley, the way he crumbled and fought scared against Mayorga looks real bad when compared to McCrory sucking it up against Jones and giving McCallum a very solid fight.

    50\50 fight for me.I guess i'll go for Milt seeing as how despite being overhyped as much as Cotto while he was active, has become pretty underrated now.He gets a bit of a raw deal because of the brilliant shot Curry took him out with.

    Winky wright vs Maurice Hope

    Duran close UD after hurting Whitaker late. Bad style match-up for Duran but he squeezes the victory

    Conn vs Holyfield at heavyweight? 15 rounds

    I think Whitaker would pull off the upset in this one. Duran had a little diffuculty with defensive fighters to begin with. & Whitakers antics would infuriate Duran and quite possibly throw Duran off his game. Much as like Leonard in thier second fight.

    Conn would be able to move & score on Holyfield early on, but Holyfield's workrate would tell on Conn. After twelve Conn Split decision. But in 13 to 15 Holyfield could take him out. Tough call over the long stretch.

    Wilfred Benitez .Vs. Jose Napoles

    Napoles UD

    by using his jab to set up his punishing combos . I think it would be a bit like the leonard fight

    One of Roberto's tougher matchups at the weight..Jose's silky smooth skills and power give him all types of hell.
    Eventually however the fast pace and hard accurate blows Roberto chucks at him takes its toll on Napoles..especially his paper thin skin.

    With Roberto only slightly ahead on the cards the bout is stopped around the 12th with Napoles' face looking like an emo kids wrist.


    Emile Griffith vs Sweet Pea @ 147. The 92-93 version of Pea.

    Whitaker slips by with a close decision win, defense being the main difference in this one. Griffith gives it a valiant effort though.

    Ruben Olivares .Vs. "Raton" Macias

    Great matchup between 2 great Mexican legends. I see Olivares being just a bit too much for Raul but Mexican pride taking it to a late round knockout for El Puas.

    On the same theme

    Jose Becerra vs Chucho Castillo

    Tough fight, Becerra in a hard earned split decision win. 15 rounds. But Castillo would have his moments.

    Bob Foster .Vs. Evander Holyfield for the Cruiserweight Championship.

    Tough to call, but I think Armstrong's superior technique and cleaner, more precise punching wins out in the end.

    Armstrong by hard fought decision or perhaps late TKO.


    Ike Williams vs. Shane Mosley, lightweights.

    Jeez. Tough match, but I think Mosley's speed, size, durability, and bodypunching might allow him to outwork Williams and just eke out a razor thin decision.

    Soo Hwan Hong vs Samart Payakaroon at 122lbs.
