    I was just thinking, what would a match between Tim Witherspoon and Chris Byrd would be like, and it made me think this fight has the great possibility to be a true stinker.

    Here's a few others:

    Muhammad Ali (1980) Vs. Randall Cobb (prime)
    This would be pretty ****ing bad. Ali looking like a shell of himself and Cobb just keeps plowing forward.

    Trevor Berbick (prime) Vs. Chris Byrd (post-prime)

    I can only imagine Berbick charging forward, and Byrd pathetically defending himself while Berbick attempts to slug away at all angles.

    James Toney (2007/2008) Vs. John Ruiz ("prime")

    Damn, a really sluggish Toney against Huggy Bear at the top of his jab'n'grab style. To induce feelings of suicide I'd make this a 15 rounder.

    Jermain Taylor v. James Toney.

    I just don't see it going well at all.

    Earnie shavers vs Bob Satterfield.

    You would pay good money to watch a 15 round fight and it would only last 1.

    I'll plump for Curtis Cokes against Holman Williams. I bet that would be one for the purist.

    Joey Maxim vs Jimmy Young.
    Sven Ottke vs Henry Maske
    Ernie Terrell vs John Ruiz
    Matches between counterpunchers are poison to the fans of rock 'em sock 'em robot types of fans. Tactical matches are not the average fan's cup of tea for sure. These type of matches are for the devotee's of technical, defensive boxing like admittedly myself, or maybe masochists and those who suffer from insomnia.

    A typo, after all, it's early in the morning. I meant to say "fans of rock 'em-sock 'em robot fighting".
