    Pretty crappy fights, but I would pick Arreola to win his fight. The rest would be won by the 90's fighters. Only Morrison made me think a little, but he could box a little at times.

    Chris Arreolla KO Jimmy Thunder

    Alexander Povetkin UD Tim Witherspoon - Tim goes down a few times but survives

    Zelejko Mavrovic KO Alexander Dimitrenko -Dimitrenko can't keep up with the constant pressure and can't compete with skill and tires out and gets TKO'd in the 7th.

    Nikolay Valuev SD Oliver McCall <-- boring fight in which Valuev keeps McCall way with a jab all day and nothing happens.

    Tommy Morrison draw Ruslan Chagaev <--- this woudl be my fav fight. The styles would make for a bar burner. Chagaev has a head of stone and moves good. Tommy is no slouch, but wasn't consistant. Probably matters which Tommy that showed, if the one that beat Foreman showed up i'd say he'd barely get the MD.

    Jimmy Thunder vs. Chris Arreolla:
    I hate to pick Arreola to win anything, but Thunder was stopped by feather fisted Chris Byrd. I haven't watched THunder in sooo long. Maybe he was better than the record tells, but...I guess I pick "stay puft" Arreloa for the win.

    Tim Witherspoon vs. Alexander Povetkin
    Spoon takes this one. Probably stops Povetkin due to Povetkins lack of defense.

    Alexander Dimitrenko vs. Zelejko Mavrovic:
    I have not seen much of Mavrovich, but anyone that can go 12 with Lennox Lewis blasting them in the face defeats someone who has trouble with Chambers' limited power. Mavrovic wins.

    Oliver McCall vs. Nikolay Valuev
    I'd pick Oliver McCall of today to beat Valuev. The 90's version ****s him up.
    McCall wins.

    Tommy Morrison vs. Ruslan Chagaev
    Tommy can be chinny, but Ruslan can't punch. Tommy Morrison stops him.
    Morrison wins.

    Was thunder even a top 10 fighter for any lenght of time in the 90's?? Don't know much about him. Witherspoon obviously was better in the 80's but given the parameters of the question: if spoon is in good shape and not on drugs he and povetkin is prolly 50/50 vs povetkin (spoon much harder puncher vs high workrate of AP); morrison 75/25 over chagaev; outside of valuev's home turf i'd take non cracked up McCall 75/25 over valuev
