    There are alot of people in the General claiming Tyson is too short to fight the Klits. Im about as sure as i could possibly be on a hypothetical, that prime Tyson would shatter and vaporise Wlad's jaw from existence. So i'll go with Tyson

    Dempsey wouldn't get past Huck, but he could be a top ten cruise with enough reeducation.

    I read the post to fast, I skipped right over heavyweight, but I think Foreman would fit in perfect with todays group. Or I could go for pure greatness and get Louis.

    Evander Holyfield in his heavyweight prime.

    I think his all around ability would be trouble for Wlad or anybody else in the current heavyweight division. Holyfield had quick enough feet to keep the big heavys off balance and he would get inside and fire off crisp combinations.

    Pre-prison Tyson because he'd invigorate the scene and answer the queries about his legacy. Estimates of his true worth always cite potential rather than actual achievement and it would be good to have a resolution. Be fascinating stylistically too - Tyson in The Land of the Giants. I would also want to resurrect Cus to keep him on the straight and narrow and maybe send a terminator back in time to prevent Don King from existing.

    I'm pretty sure he beats Yoan Pablo Hernandez.

    My choice would be Benny Leonard. Not only would he domanate lightweight, but light welterweight as well.

    Prime George Foreman so he could destroy the Klits.

    I'd say Dempsey & Wills or Johnson & Langford, but then what would we fight about? So... Louis. To find out if nature beats science.

    Jerry Quarry and Ken Norton, among others, so people could see the difference between that class and this one.
