    career, who would it be against?

    I'm betting it you are a leonard fan, it would be gainst someone like Norris and add on a Micheal Nunn

    If you are a Hagler fan, it might be gainst Leonard and immediately after, retirement

    For a Dempsey fan, it might come against Tunney

    Who would you have liked to seen your favorite hero beat?

    Very funny.

    I'll get this one started. In the case of Terry Norris, there is really no one I can think of since he beat them all and beat them convincingly from fearsome sluggers to lightning fast speedsters. All of them wound up humbled at one time or another.

    Same for Roy Jones. After the fall doesnt count for Roy. Only the fall itself counted but I said that's okay because came out on top in the first one. To me, watching both fights Jones-Tarver 1 & 2 were satisfying to watch but I dont count anything after that because Roy was a lifeless piece of dried up ****.

    Not much to add about someone like Monzon but a win over Hagler would have been THE ultimate.

    Regarding Pep, there was nothing he could do; he just met his match against a relentless rough houser but at least he does have the one win showing that he was CAPABLE of beating the great Saddler

    As a Dempsey fan I would much rather have seen him fight Harry Wills to be honest.

    Right.


    I'm not huge on Dempsey and i'm only fond of Wills, but this is still a fight that would be near the top of my list.

    So you want to see Nunn KO Norris? Leonard beat Hagler wider? And Tunney KO Dempsey?

    I'll limit this to fighters who actually wanted fights and couldnt get the fights.

    Joan Guzman gets Pacquaio between 122-135

    How about McCallum got 1 or of the Fab5 at 154-160

    Jones Jr gets DM at 175 (I think he partly wanted this fight but didnt want to got Germany or split the purse too wide open with DM)

    How about Mayweather gets Mosley in 2000 or Tyszu in 2005?

    Witter gets Hatton in 2000-05.

    Langford gets Willard

    Wills gets Dempsey

    Vernon Forrest (RIP) gets DLH/Tito

    Hearns beats Leonard the first time or at least gets his W in the rematch.

    Ali & Morales are my favourites so.....

    Ali retires after the 2nd Spinks fight, no Holmes or Berbick.

    Morales stops Barrera in the rubber match & goes straight for the LWT title after the 1st Pac fight, never seeing 130 lbs again.

    :good
