Hypothetical Match Up Game

No one?

Ill hog it again then.

Gomez takes this. Both have their moments, Gomez's all around better skills and defence sees him takes the better of it for the most part until Lopez falls around the 10th or 11th.

 

Moore KO late in the fight... both are greats, though Moore is a legend.

Pancho Villa vs. Manny Pacquiao at 122 LBS?

 

Paquiao points, too strong for Villa at the weight.

Walter McGowan vs Charlie Magri

 

McGowan takes it on points. Magri is a little outclassed here.

Rudolfo Gonzalez .Vs. Mando Ramos

 

It would be a blood bath whilst it lasted.

Maybe its against all logic but Ill tip Gonzalez to accumulate to much damage over the long haul, 15 rounds. Forces the stoppage eventually, probably gives away a few rounds in the process. I really rated Ramos though, he was technically superior here from what Ive seen.

Im pretty sure I read that Gonzalez offered a fight to Duran but it never came about. Would have been a great test for the then young Duran.

Jeff Fenech vs Lupe Pintor

 

Fenech too big & too strong for the Bantam Pintor. I would look for Fenech to finish Pintor in about the ninth or tenth round.

Tony Ayala Jr. .Vs. Fernando Vargas

 

Ayala, much too skilled and aggressive for Vargas.

Pernell Whitaker vs. Willie Pep?

 

Sweet Pea to big in the end.

Both were defensive masters, both werent known for their power but I think the size advantage allows Pernell to take a few more risks and he gradually piles up the points.

A bit tough on old Willie there.


Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson vs Johnny Tapia

 

I give Johnson's quicker, sharper punching and left handed stance the edge vs. Tapia's all around ability. Johnson by decision.


Ike Williams vs. Carlos Ortiz.

 

Tough one...

Ortiz is one of my favourite Rican fighters, a treat to watch. But its hard for me the picture him being able to deal with the the constant work of Williams over the stretch. I think there are a lot of pick em rounds early on but eventually Willams, who would not be discouraged, gets on top of Ortiz and takes a clear points decision.

Ike Quartey vs Curtis Cokes

 

Cokes tries all his trickery, but fails to break Quartey's defense open. Quartey keeps the pressure on and wins by mid or late round TKO, IMO.


Next up: Chavez vs. Armstrong.

 

I could see this going either way? But would lean towards a close decision for Armstrong

LW Tony "The Tiger" Lopez (92) vs Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini (82)

 

Mancini too intense ,too strong pounds out a 12 round decision.


Howard Winstone vs Danny Lopez, prime for prime.

 

Had Winstone been able to beat Saldivar in one of their encounters he would be rated much higher. Danny Lopez who sometimes seem to be a forgotten man (outside of losses to Sanchez, anyway) much of the time...would rank very high. I would go with a Little red decision, but would not be schocked to see him score a late KO either.

Rolando Navarrete vs Manny Pacquiao
