    Still a hellish division today but we didnt make many tougher than Ken.

    World Champ today too. ( although Duran would likely come out of retirement to punch him in the balls again ! )

    Bob Fitzsimmons. Mainly to see how pre-modern era fighters would manage today. The consensus seems to be that because we now have tins of whey they'd have no chance.

    I'm sure he'd be able to deal with such puglistic maestros as Wayne Elcock. Who knows at world level. I think he'd be a dangerous middleweight for sure.

    Nigel Benn.

    Exciting style, guaranteed bad-ass attitude and KO power.

    He'd probably clean up.

    Naz... don't think he ever reached anywhere near his potential. His skills were sublime. If he had stayed with Ingle and didn't have his hangers on and had a level head, that guy would have been unbelievable.

    If...
    If...
    If...

    And ring entrances haven't been the same since him.

    Nas Hammed. He would dominate the current Featherweights but huge fights with JM Lopez, R Marquez, Vasquez would all happen.
