    ... one fight left?

    Boxing is over. It's banned worldwide and miraculously, everyone listens. It's dead, there's never another boxing match again. You have a time machine - stay with me, lads - and you can make one fight. It is the last boxing match of all time, and you get a ringside ticket.

    Which two fighters are you picking?

    The only rule, is no heavyweights.

    If it's the last boxing match on planet earth, it should be an action packed match.

    My candidates:

    Duran vs Pacquiao
    Maidana vs Porter
    Pryor vs Leonard

    Would all be guaranteed fireworks displays that people would remember for decades.

    I'm going with Greb Vs Robinson. You don't want an early knockout for this.

    Can we make it 25 rounds?
