Hypothetical Match Up Game

Hagler via domination. To much skill, speed and work ethic for Abe.

Mayorga vs Cuevas @ 147

 

I'll take Cuevas, mostly because i can't justify taking Mayorga, not a good reason i know!

Tito was a massive puncher and did it, i know that was at a different weight but you get me.

They'll brawl and Cuevas gets the better imo.

Wilde vs. Calderon

 

Im hogging this thread a bit but Ill keep it going.

Wilde knocks out the midget...especially if we are talking over 15 or 20.

Next one....Jorge Arce vs The Hawk Jung-Koo Chang at lightfly.

NB. I put that in teeto there because I thought it would be a fun fight whilst it lasted. I would defo side with Cuevas aswell.

 

Fun fight? understatement of the week!

I like Arce to watch, used to anyway, but i'll take Chang, just think he would be able to take the shots and do his own thing to take the day.

Qawi vs Siki

Fuk it, lets hog the thread!

 

Valuev vs. Butterbean

 

Stumped me...I have seen nothing of Siki, familiar with him but other then possibly seeing a grainy set of highlights I dont think I have seen him fight.

Qawi is fav of mine....I think he is to strong and takes a decision in the end but Im taking a stab here. Other then beating Carpentier (who isnt sensational) I cant see many good wins on old mate Siki's record.

Im going to dumb it down a bit now....Shane Mosley vs Roger Mayweather

 

Giant over the Bean anyday.

That fat **** dies of heart failure inside 8. And Im only giving him a chance to last that long because somehow he was still standing after 10 with geriatric holmes.

 

Roger's chin has to give way at some point. It's just a matter of how long until that happens, and what kind of a fight he can put up until it does.


Next up: Kid Gavilan vs. Luis Rodriguez.

 

Yeah i think i was being a bit 'out there' with Siki, apparently a wild man in the ring he was, ive read a bit about him.

Mosley's better offensive skills would take the day in a competitive one i reckon, he'd have the chin to take Roger's bombs imo.

What about Bruno-Norton?

I'll let someone else do a bit of posting now!!!!

 

Sorry My2Sense, didnt see your post there!

 

RE: My2Sense...top matchup. If things had fallen a little differently for LMR we might be remembering him as a true great. His non-title record is insane, I could go on all day listing the guys he beat, you almost cant believe he was only champ for a such a short period of time. Came heartbreakingly close against Griffith, Benevnuti and Cokes when they were either champs or in eliminators . And of course he holds wins over Curtis and Emile.

My2Sense you are killing me here..Id have to side with Gavilan though, he was just a bit quicker and skilled on the outside, and I think his footwork and technical ability take LMR's body work out of the equation a bit. I reitterate top matchup but Gavlian close points victor over 15.

RE: Teeto...I give Bruno a big shot of bagging an early Ko here but Norton's proven ability over the longer haul gives him the edge for me. Norton stops him in 10.

 

Nigel Benn v Joe Calzaghe

 

Already been done, but not by me!

I think Arguello has a bit too much for Chavez to overcome. Arguello by decision, in a nine rounds to six kind of fight.


Next up: Luis Rodriguez is back, and he's fighting Jose Napoles.

 

Napoles. Just a bit to well rounded for LMR, I think he just reduces LMR's effectiveness from the outside with his left but it would be hard work, LMR wouldnt stop punching and being a hard target. Another very close one.

Edit: Now I have thought about it Im really starting to think LMR could take this. He seemed to have a knack for cutting guys up..The Benvenuti cut was nasty, he was also only one of the few people to stop guys like George Benton and Bahama..both of them on cuts. Im sure he cut Carter in one their fights, and I thought he was robbed in Griffith II. Truly a quality fighter
He was accurate and busy which could really take its toll on the thin skin of Napoles. I would go as far to say that the two likely outcomes of this fight are either Napoles edges this on points or he is stopped on cuts.

Wilfredo Gomez vs Danny Lopez @ 124
