    what would it be

    where would it be held

    why did you pick there 2 fighters

    who would win
    ....................................................................

    my fight would be joe frazier vs evander holyfield

    it would be held at maddison square garden because both are from the east side of america

    i picked these 2 fighters because they are my fav fighters of all time along with gatti. i also think that you would get an fight/brawl that would not be matched in terms of excitement in heavyweight history.

    who would win prime for prime??? jesus now thats the question , frazier would have no problem hitting holyfield , holyfoeld would have no problem hitting frazier , both would probably be knicked down in the fight but the fight would probably go the distance.

    frazier style would suit holyfield , but holyfields would suit frazier lol thats what makes this fight so good. Both have amazing workrate but frazier just does that little bit more especially on the inside. Holyfield would have the faster hands and combinations to stop frazier coming in but lesser fighter have been able to get a holyfield but holyfield likes this.

    im going for frazier to sneak this fight by a point or 2 , no more than 3. His workrate is constant , holyfield will be in the fight all the way though.

    144-142 or 8-6-1 in rounds to smokin joe

    Duran v Mayweather at 135/147. It would be a dream to just watch the HBO 24/7 with Duran spewing abuse at the mayweathers & terrifying the **** out of Floyds crew &, threatening them all with death ect ect, then the weigh-in explosion & the riot that breaks out when all the legion of Duran fanatics storm the stage as Duran promises to **** floyds girlfriend senseless after he'd pulverised floyd. Just pure & absolute Mayhem & i'd stump up the $10,000 no prob for the ticket to that most momentous occasion. It would be my ultimate dream 7 day Vegas blast, absolute carnage:bbb:D

    pryor vs leonard. although i think leonard would win, would like to see how tough pryor really was and if he could really push and damage leonard at any point.
    whitaker vs mayweather. how would mayweather respond to whitakers elusiveness?

    Greb-Robinson. From a musical parallel it's Jazz approach vs. Classical approach in boxing gloves

    I'm tempted to say Louis v.s. Dempsey but in my heart I feel Louis might crush him so I'd possibly go with Dempsey v.s. Johnson or Dempsey v.s. Marciano ...

    Larry Holmes vs. Rocky Marciano

    In Atlantic City

    I like Holmes UD 15. The jab is too much for Marciano to negotiate effectively

    Yes he,Louis might "crush" Dempsey ,but just as possible the 1919 Dempsey,a much, much faster starter,might "crush " Joe Louis. Max Schmeling who sparred with Dempsey in Germany, when Der Max was young ,picked Dempsey, as Gene Tunney and Jack Sharkey likewise.
    As far as Jack Johnson against Joe Louis is concerned , Jack Blackburn confined to a close friend of Louis,that he chose Jack Johnson to beat Louis in their respective primes. And as I have posted ad infinitum, almost all the old boxing scribes who saw the prime [pre 3 year layoff] Dempsey fight, picked Jack over Marciano,during Marciano's reign 1952 -04 ,
    almost unanimously, because of Dempsey's much greater handspeed and mobility, along with better 2-handed power...For what it's worth. Cheers...
