    Chavez- So we could see him in his prime against a shot ODH. Turn the tables a bit.
    Foreman- So that we could see how he handles the K- Brothers.
    Roberto Duran- A match up against PBF and Pac would be nice.

    All in their respective primes.

    And what the hell, let's throw Lennox Lewis, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, and Joe Louis into the mix as well.

    Now theres a heavweight division a guy could get excited about.

    Chavez was only 33 when Oscar fought him. He was also the Champion of his division, and didn't even lose for another 3 years after Oscar beat him, except again to Oscar. That isn't the actions of a shot fighter.

    Bring prime Chavez back when Oscar was 33 years old. When he fought Mayorga... Oscar pounds Chavez again.:good

    co-signed. Either set of fighters would spark boxing again and make for some awesome fights, even if they only fought each other.

    Loads of fighters could compete today but the 3 boxers in my signature (Ali, Robinson & Pep) would dominate in their best weight class in likely any era, especially today.
