If you can BRING BACK ONE boxer during HIS PRIME to today's divisions who will it be?

Thomas Hearns...
If this man was an active fighter right now, nor Floyd, Pac or Cotto would have dared to fight past 140.
Paul Williams and Margarito? Neither survives 5 rounds.
Andre Berto? Please.
Ortiz? Slaughtered.

Seriously, the only fighters I give a shot against Prime Hearns at 147 are Leonard and SRR. And I would have favored Hearns in a rematch with Leonard at 147.

 

If I couldn't prime Chuck Wepner I've heard that Ray Leonard guy was quite good in his day.
Welter or thereabouts is the only division where there would be anything approaching one or two good fights against prime "true" greats.(Mayweather is the only one who would give Tommy and Ray anything like a challenge.He'd still lose)
Can you imagine Marvin having Martinez and Jr as his two main challengers?
And it's tempting to imagine Lennox back,but he'd be so far ahead of the rest it would get boring.
Shameless fanboyism from me but I'd love to see prime Barrera in with Donaire and Gamboa.

 

right now would be cotto's.

 

It's hard to choose only one but I would go with Julian Jackson at MW! I won't choose Hagler SSR or any other great because in the current MW division its Martinez and then everyone else, no good current comp for the greats. Jackson should be intersting.

 

Ron Lyle or Earnie Shavers

Floyd Patterson at cruiser.

Bob Foster LHW

Tommy Hearns

Sugar Ray Leonard

Alexius Arquello

 

Roberto Duran.

 

(Old school ring announcer) The one, the only, Sugar, Ray, LEONARD! LEONARD! The Welterweight and Middleweight divisions would be in terror. Suga time.

 

I was tempted to mention Chava,but again I feel he'd be so far ahead of the rest in his division.

 

Hagler.

 

I'll go with you on that one. I have never seen a more complete fighter than Leonard - he could Box/Punch/Swarm - whatever. He could fight going forwards and backwards and did not lose his power and speed just because he was getting banged at times. He had a heart.

 

Tyson or holyfield

 

Hearns.

He would clean 147,154,160 completely.

Depending on how hard people would duck him though, I cant imagine Mayweather or even Pacquiao fighting him

 

^^^ This.

Imagine the build ups, he'd show everyone up.

Mayweather would hate it.

NAZ far too G for him.
