    Pernell Whitaker at Welter, or Sonny Liston amongst the current crop of HW's.

    That would be a lot of fun.

    Which weight class do you think he would turn pro in and how far up do you think he would travel?

    I would bring back ray robinson he would clean up the WW division and whip everybody including one favorites mayweather. Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis would be nice to see them go through the big men in the modern era like they did with the big men they had fought in their era.:good

    Bombardier Billy Wells .......



    er, no, on second thoughts how about a young Roberto Duran just starting his pro career? We could look forward to a devastating 15 year march up through the weights.

    This thread is great!! Greb i must say, was debating between him and my alltime fave, you know who it is! But Russel's reasoning for picking Greb swayed my pick!

    20-year old Tony Ayala and prime Hagler. It's scary to think of what they would do to the likes of Calzaghe and B-Hop.
