    If you can bring back any fighter in their primes, from any era to today's era, who would it be? It can be from any weightclass.

    Probably Greb.

    I can't think of any fighter that'd answer more questions than him.

    Henry Armstrong.....Because he competed and was champion 126-147 and that is where most the talent is in boxing today

    Though Sam Langford would be my second choice.

    I would bring back Primo Carnera and see how today's Heavyweight's fare!!!!

    No, just kidding.

    Actually, I'd like to bring back Roberto Duran. I wonder how he would do, considering Joel Casamayor, Juan Diaz, Campbell and Katsidis make an interesting Lightweight division for him today.

    Young Griffo might prove an interesting twist.

    I'd bring back Stanley Ketchel. Give him the benefits of modern boxing skills, and a good trainer. He'd be unstoppable. Ali and Baer to spice up the heavyweight division. Both entertaining fighters and showmen.
