    And place him in any division, today, who would it be, and why?

    I will start with the great Willie Pep, to see how he fairs with todays feathers.

    Prince Naseem. Imagine him, Pacquiao, Morales, Marquez, Barrera, Valero, etc all doing a round robin

    Indeed. That was what got me thinking of this thread in the first place. A prime Tyson would be an incredible thing to have again, even knowing all his bull**** I would still love to have him in the division today.

    Tyson. Seing him chop down all the heavies 1 by 1 will be a fun sight.
