    Just seeing opinions from the forum on how the Modern Greats will do against Classic Greats. Going to try to find fighters with similar style or attributes to try to make as even as possible.

    ROund 1:
    Lennox Lewis vs Larry Holmes
    Floyd Jr vs Willie pep at 130
    Manny Pac vs Roberto Duran at 140
    Benard hopkins vs Marvin Hagler at 160
    Tito Trinidad vs Julio Chavez

    Please provide detail opinions.

    I think Lewis beats Holmes by split d
    Floyd Jr Kos pep
    Close fight with Duran but Duran KOs pac
    Hopkins wins split D
    Prime Chavez to beat trinidad by Decision or KO

    I think Team Modern takes this one.

    Floyd and Willie Pep fight to a sd win for either
    Pacquiao gets ko'd
    Bernard loses a wide UD
    Trinidad and Chavez isnt fair, Chavez is way better but his best weight is below 140 and Tito is a huge welterweight

    For some reason i really don't see Hagler dominating Hopkins but i see that Hopkins will move around like SRL did and hold him and spoil it in his favor and shutting down Hagler's offense. But i can see Hopkins being timid and lost by work rate of Hagler.
