Who win would between.... 2001 Rahman who beat Lewis vs 1990 Douglas who beat Tyson Douglas and easily IMO. Rahman was getting dealt with until he landed a shot against the run of play pretty much against an underprepared Lewis. 1997 Vince Phillips who beat Kostya vs 2005 Carlos Maussa who beat Vivian Harris Phillips...really no contest there. 2008 Antonio Margarito who beat Cotto vs 2001 Mayorga who beat Lewis Would be a war. Dont let the disparity between the two champions beaten fool you, very tough match either way. I think Marga outlasts Mayo, stops him late. 2000 Jose Luis Castillo that beat Stevie Johnson vs 2008 Nate Campbell who beat Juan Diaz I think this would be a pretty entertaining fight, albeit a pretty onesided entertaing bout in favour of Castillo. 93 Simon Brown who beat Norris vs 1951 Randy Turpin who beat SRR Say at catchweight..I was stretching for ideas..Wanted 5 and needed one quick. From what Ive seen Turpin takes it.
I agree with all your picks. I think Margarito would take a decision over prime Mayorga, but I could see Tony wearing him down and attacking the body enough to force a stoppage late too. Campbell of the Diaz fight would make things interesting for sure, because of the inside action that fight would probably turn out to be the most entertaining ( barring an all-out slugfest in Margarito-Mayorga), but I agree that Castillo would be in control for pretty much the entire way and would take a hard-fought but very clear win.
James Douglas had amazing talent, he was a natural heavyweight great who had been around a long time before Tyson.... He faced a great array of top heavyweights........ and should have trapped the IBF years before he upset Tyson...........
