    Monzon - Foster in 72
    Duran - Cervantes in 75
    Out of the two, Monzon v Foster would have been very interesting, Bob slightly past his best maybe, Monzon dominating his division like no other.
    stay safe guys.

    Yes, Michael Spinks, but that would not have been a sensible move for Marvin.

    Would have been fun. I think Tzysu would have smashed him despite being the smaller man.

    Qawi also called him out when he was reigning beside Spinks.

    thanks for your words!

    Leonard-Sanchez was more of a LATAM-speak thing. I read about it on the Spanish version of Ring IIRC, and it was discussed recently at a You Tube Sanchez tribute video by me and some Mexicans.

    I know this topic is more about realistic champion moving up in weight scenarios.

    However, I will say this:
    One dream match that does not get mentioned often in Dream match up scenarios is Cervantes-Arguello at 140.

    Who knows maybe Alexis could have pulled it since both had somewhat similar styles.

    Another fight that would have been unwise for Hagler, great as he was at MW.

    He had no chance against those two.
