If Only They Fought In Today's Era.

Jimmy Bivins and Lloyd Marshall would have both handed every Light Heavyweight today their arses in double quick time also

 

Gary Mason, prior to the eye injury would have handled today's domestic heavies.

 

I liked Scott Welch, would have been good to see how he handled the current crop of domestic heavies

 

Alan Rudkin: Bantam
George Benton: Middle
Eddie Booker: Middle
Howard Davis: Super feather
Spider Webb: Middle
Holly Mims: Middle
Jose Medal: Bantam
Ritchie Kates: Super middle/light heavy
Rubin Carter: Junior middle/middle
Gaspar Ortega: Welter
Bennie Briscoe: Middle
Holman Williams: Welter
Jorge Ahumada: Light heavy
Ernie Shavers: Cruiser

 

Most of the ''Philly Spectrum'' middles of the 1970's.

 

Joe Bugner?

 

Gerry Cooney!

 

I can half imagine Kirkland Laing upsetting Pacquiao and then dropping the title in a first defence against Lynes...

 

:good

 

Both would be big middleweights and make the weight comfortably :deal

Both would grab straps in different weights. Seeing he was comfortable at Heavy (around 180 odd IIRC) I have no doubt Bivins would be THE MAN from middle through to light heavy if you put him IB there today. Marshall would still get caught and sparked eventually ;-)

Also, 24 hour weigh in's would benefit of lot of guys back in the day who were tight at the weight. Kalule comes to mind.
