    If you wanted to make him completely dominant, which fighter would you resurrect today in any weightclass? (For instance, a heavyweight version of Hank Armstrong? A middleweight Willie Pep? Atomweight Tony Galento?)

    Big fun!

    I'd have Burley at Light-Welter and Welter.

    He'd kick ass in the toughest devision currently, taking names and ducking no-one.

    A heavyweight Terry McGovern might be an interesting beast.

    A heavyweight Barbados Joe Walcott can you imagine the power he'd pocess he would have dozens of highlight reel knockouts. Also Wilfedo Gomez at 160 he would rule his speed and power would be to much for any of his opponents. And Ezzard Charles at 175 just there would be some footage of him at his best weight.
