Hypothetical Match Up Game

Wilde wasnt slow he had great reflexes and speed in his prime and good skills

I think Johnson could out box him frustrate him and win a 15 or 20 round desicion

havent saw enough of Lupe ill throw it back out

Antonio Margarito .Vs. Lupe Aquino @ 154.

 

Im taking Aquino, its his weight and i hate Margo after what happened!

I want to take Johnson against Foreman, i think he is better but i may get tore apart for that, hell with it im taking Johnson.

Diego Corrales vs Sean O'Grady

 

Johnson a much better boxer and has the power to keep the free swinging Foreman at bay. good choice.

O'Grady would be leading in this one with his good boxing skills. But the way Corrales likes to go to war. Sean's tender skin would tear open. Corrales TKO(Cuts) in 10.

Colin Jones .Vs. John H. Stracey

 

Jones would stop Stracey I think, late, though a Napoles-repeat is not out of the question as Jones' cut very badly also.

 

Mike Ayala .Vs. Paulie Ayala @ 126. & Tony Ayala Jr. .Vs. Antonio Margarito @ 154.

 

I want to pick Paulie, but he only had 3 fights at this weight and lost 2 of them (albeit to Morales and barrera)...So I gotta take Mike, by a fair decision (7-5/8-4) type fight.

I hate to comment on Margarito with all of the allegations surrounding him...But I will do this on the basis that he has not been found guilty of anything in earlier fights (even if suspicions loom). Tony had good power at 154, was a fearsome opponent, and had a lot of unanswered potentioal. But he does not have any great wins to boast of (unless Epps fits the bill?). Margarito seems to have proven himself against higher caliber opposition, so I am picking Antonio by 11th rd TKO....

Muhammad vs Muhammad...Eddie Gregory vs Matthew Franklin

 

Dempseys feroicous attack draws Evander into a fight where Dempsey really turns on the presssure and wins a UD like 11-4 in a gruelling war

Bobby Chacon vs Nassem Hamed at FW ovver 15

 

I could picture Bobby pounding out a decision over Naz but not more often then I can picture Hamed eventually landing to much solid leather on Bobby and putting him away.

Could end early, could end late but I see Naz getting the stoppage more then likely.

Seen this one very soundly argued the other way however.

Israel Vasquez vs Lionel Rose.

 

Can I just say that I think Evander would've beaten Dempsey in one of the most thrilling fights EVER!!!!

Not gonna' call this one, also if I had too quickly I'd say Vasquez, but that's without thinking about it too much....let someone else.

**** it, I choose Vasquez PTS, Rose more of a BW than 122 (as far as I know)




Mine is Riddick Bowe vs. Mike Tyson (Prime 4 Prime, i.e Bowe in the 1st Evander fight, Tyson against Berbick)

 

As good as Bowe boxed, he could be hit. A Tyson assault would get through. Three rounds of pounding would be all Bowe could withstand. Tyson TKO 3.

Diego Corrales .Vs. Cornelius Boza-Edwards

 

Tough tough fight to call

i like Boza Edwards durability to be the key here in a all out war with both on the ground but eventually Corrales goes down for about the 5th or 6th time and the ref stops the fight with Boza Edwards knackered and cut about round 13

Bazooka Limon vs Himberto Soto

 

Being honest with you. I think 122 would of suited Rose perfectly. He really was a big bantam and had a terrible time doing the weight.

 

Over 12 I would take a Limon decision, anything longer and Bazooka stops him late.

Tony Ayala vs Fernando Vargas at 154

 

I tend to agree...when he got his **** together after some hardships, he was a world class superfeatherweight late in his career..Challenging for a title and fighting several good fighters around that weight at the time.

He probably had as many fights at superbantam as he did at bantam during his time at 118..he beat Medel whilst fighting above the bantam limit.

I think he would have outpointed Izzy quite clearly
