    A prime Roberto Duran to take on Ricky Hatton, Floyd Mayweather, Cotto, Judah, Mosley, Collazo, and knowing Duran, even De la Hoya, Taylor and Pavlik.

    It'd be grand. Would have been even better about six or seven years ago, then he could have started with the ligter weights.

    prime tyson isn't really interesting, because he lacks opposition. oh wow, he's wlad's nightmare stylewise and all other boxers today aren't on his level, this is fun!! bull****.

    Only one? Maybe Jack Johnson. I would want to see how these heavyweights today would deal with this defensive wizard.

    I can tell you that right now. Rocky Marciano was smaller than Frazier, and remarkably, there were almost no opponents considerably taller than he, nor black ones.

    Now imagine what Liston would have done with him

    Bringing back a prime Tyson is impossible because as soon as he lost his first fight to a decent heavyweight everyone would claim he wasn't prime.

    Harry Wills, just to give the guy a much deserved chance to fight for the title.

    Heh, doesn't matter, Pryor KOed Arguello in the 10th in a rematch W/O the "bottle". Now, if he wasn't able too...the suspection would have been alot higher. Tho, I honestly believe there was something in the bottle because a few years proved Pryor had a cocain addiction. Ok, yeah, I keep contraciting myself. Pryor = Guilty? yes (I hate to admit that with one of my all time favs)

    ROFLMAO!!!!

    I would bring back Sugar Ray Robinson the greatest P4P fighter to ever live....so he could absolutely destroy Mayweather. If you think the light punching Mayweather could handle Ray Robinson you are out of your freaking mind.
