    Id be fairly suprised if Ike could stop him..considering the guys Eddie went the rounds with, he was only ever stopped on a cut, apparently from a butt. But if anyone could..he would be one of the men.

    Prime Hector...hmm..yeah Prime Hector to quick, to many combinations. He takes it on points.


    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad vs John Conteh

    Being a bit skewed, but I saw a green Eddie rattled badly against Carl Hubbard (or was it Lahourai Godih?) and now I'm thinking Ike could take him out. Isn't likely, I agree.

    I can see Camacho-Mayweather turning into Camacho-Rosario myself. Actually think Roger Mayweather has better skills than Rosario too, but his crappy chin will probably stop him from really putting the heat on Camacho.

    Haven't seen enough prime Conteh to say here, so I'll pass the buck to those in the know :good

    Conteh was tough as Hell, but so was Muhammed, it'd be a close, evenly fought fight, but I'd go with Muhammed.

    Well i have to say Duran, just as i see him as likely the man with the best chance against just about any 135 pounder. But dont get me wrong, if there was a complete 135 pounder stylistically and probably effectively aswell it was Carlos Ortiz. He may do better to box here, but its not like he's going to try and keep distance and counter with hooks, he relished the inside game, and we all know Duran there. Ortiz also liked to weigh a man up with a pawing jab and land a Mosley-esque right hand, but for me Duran's right hand from distance is the laser of all lasers imo. It might just come down to a chess-match with both guys having similar ideas imo and Duran simply being better, ever so slightly. Just my opinion.

    Ike Williams vs Pernell Whittaker. , 135.

    im going to get slated for this but i think Pea could outbox him and get a UD it would be real close though maybe with a KD in ikes favour but i just think Pea would win.

    keeping with the LW scene

    Due to the lack of footage of Leonard available and Whittaker being (IMO) the 3rd best LW H2H of all time (behind Duran and Ortiz) I say Whittaker via PTS.

    I dont think its too contraversial there mate, hard call to make. Well for me, Leonard has a good style in the sense that he keeps his own composure well and always keeps the distance, but then its a chess match, and Whittaker has some gears to go through in that department, also he is the aggressor and although not his natural game, he could really come out of his shell when he wanted to. Although actually given this is at 135 it would likely be a boxing game at distance all the way. I dont know if the single shots, jabs and booming right hands etc are enough to do Pea. Again contraversial, but i'll take Whittaker (sorry!)

    I like this division a lot so i'll stick it out-

    Joe Gans vs Shane Mosley at 135, pure class against modern progression

    I cant just keep picking Whittaker (although i may keep picking Duran!)

    So really this is a top class boxing match with either winner very plausible for me. But i'll take Ortiz, i think he is one of the very few with the disciplined enough style, and he's versatile, not quite as versatile as the great Whittaker would become for me, but here i can take him.
