Some of the great uncrowned champions vs the champions at their weights Much suggestions from this thread Sorry I couldn't include them all, but feel free to suggest other match ups if you want to Bantamweight Jose Medel Vs Naoya Inoue Owen Moran Vs Zolani Tete Featherweight Owen Moran Vs Leo Santa Cruz Super Featherweight Tyrone Everett Vs Vasiliy Lomachenko Lightweight Packey McFarland Vs Vasiliy Lomachenko Billy Petrolle Vs Mikey Garcia Super Lightweight Lew Tendler Vs Regis Prograis Jack Blackburn Vs Mikey Garcia Packey McFarland Vs Josh Taylor Welterweight Charley Burley Vs Terence Crawford Packey McFarland Vs Errol Spence Jr Middleweight Sam Langford Vs Gennady Golovkin Charley Burley Vs Saul Alvarez George Benton Vs Billy Joe Saunders Super Middleweight Tommy Gibbons Vs Callum Smith Sam Langford Vs Gilberto Ramirez Light Heavyweight Jimmy Bivins Vs Adonis Stevenson Tommy Gibbons Vs Eleider Alvarez Sam Langford Vs Badou Jack Cruiserweight Peter Jackson Vs Oleksandr Usyk Joe Jeanette Vs Mairis Briedis Sam Langford Vs Tony Bellew Heavyweight Harry Wills Vs Anthony Joshua Sam McVea Vs Tyson Fury Peter Jackson Vs Deontay Wilder
Benton looked more impressive than Saunders in film studies, great match up. Smith is huge, it would take a big super middle to topple him unless this Gibbons was as good as Ward, what was his walking around weight, do you know? Smith`s reach would be too much for most middles from the past. What height was Wills?
I think that Sam Langford would be very successful in these matches, perhaps becoming less so the further down the weight classes he moves. His first loss might come at welterweight!
He was a good Welterweight, but I don't think he was at his best. I think Middleweight up to Super Middleweight is probably his natural weight. You can only carry so much on a frame that size. Are there any footage of him not fighting heavyweights? I suspect he'd look less lumbering and that was more just how he fought to get the most power against larger opponents, given his success against Gans and Walcott.
