Stylistic nightmares for the following fighters

Liston is a bit like Rocky for me in terms of he suffers an unfair reputation as being slow. Yes they were slower than the LHW sized fighters they fought and obviously slower than Ali but compared to these SHW behemoths I've no doubt Liston holds a speed advantage.

MAB = Barrera

 

LOL

 

Well thought out, although I disagree with a few of your selections. If Judah could catch Spinks, there’s no way he survives SRR. I don’t see AJ beating Holyfield and I especially don’t see MAB solving Floyd.

 

Paz beat Duran.

 

Correct ,guys who had plenty of mobility were Rocks worst opposition.

 

Judah caught him in the rematch but first time out he was totally bamboozled by his style and I just think the kind of style Spinks has is one that you don't look good against. Mainly I just didn't wanna go along the line of iron chinned pressure fighters like Turpin.

AJ Vs Holyfield could be premature but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see AJ bomb him out.

MAB did essentially get stopped against Jones but he arguably won the rematch and he fought on even terms for the full trilogy with EM imo. But I really think he'd be an incredibly difficult fight for Floyd the way he hooks behind the jab and closes the space and because MAB has that anything it takes to win mentality.

 

I think rocky proved he couldn' be out boxed, he had a great chin and all but rocky was a bully in the ring, I don' think he ever fought a guy he couldn't out fight toe to toe, but if he did face a guy like foreman for example it would be a repeat of what happened to frazier

 

SRR (last IBHOF I was at, Manny Steward said his handlers kept him away from jabbers & counter punchers- this could be why Burley was avoided as a counterpuncher?)

Joe Louis (as Jack Johnson said. anyone who could take advantage of his low left, sucker for a right hand- Max landed over and over) Conn did similar.

Rocky Marciano ( Lennox Lewis Tyson Fury Type who could clutch and clinch-smother him to a boring points win)

Ray Leonard- (Tommy Hearns maybe even Paul Williams a long fighter who utilizes the jab)

Roberto Duran (uh Ray L II? Someone who uses mind games- Duran wanted to fight, not dance. I think Pernell)

Pernell Whitaker someone with reach , who constantly throws- Paul Williams threw 80 per round- & SweePea wouldn't land like Martinez

Evander Holyfield- Like Rock Newman said Evander was a good little HW, but a good big HW beats him, he gets goaded into fights easily.

Floyd Mayweather- unorthodox fighters who throw from bell to bell Castillo Maidana, Paul Williams. Skills will never beat Floyd. throwing shots from unpredictable angles IMO would-- nont stop incessant is his worst ..why he retired when Paul called him out. He'd beat Pac anytime any era, cause he darts in and out...Floyd would time him just like JMM did.

Lennox Lewis, Vitali & Wldamir Klitschko A prime Tyson under the tutelage of Kevin Rooney was a dynamic duo, he was no yes man. He kept Tyson lean, mean & constantly switch hitting. effortlessly. Neither Klitschko are quick enough hand nor foot to stop that version of Tyson...unfortunately Con KIng disrupted the last knowledgeable cornerman for Iron.
