    Which one of these fights would you match if you were to make the all time single greatest fight?

    Manny Pacquiao vs Julio Cesar Chavez

    Muhammad Ali vs Joe Louis

    Rocky Marciano vs Jack Dempsey

    Sugar Ray Robinson vs Sugar Ray Leonard

    Roberto Duran vs Aaron Pryor

    Alexis Arguello vs Salvador Sanchez

    Tough, but Duran vs Pryor would have been a barn burner. That gets my vote.

    A one sided drubbing should never be categorized as a great fight in my estimation.

    I think it would be interesting to see Pacquiao and JC Chavez. Not necessarily greatest fight ever, but a good matchup.

    Exactly. Marciano achieved great feats in his own time, but styles make fights, and Ali's feet would see him far out of range for any wild right hands. Walcott out-boxed Marciano for the majority of their fight, Ali would embarrass him in my estimation.

    I would also like to see Julio Cesar Chavez vs Roberto Duran at 135lbs. Duran was an animal at Lightweight, and Chavez was about as close to unstoppable as I've seen. He'd take Duran's best shots and come back with 3-4 punch combination's to body and head himself. It might lack drama with both combatants having the potential to go through everything the other throws, but damn, it'd be action packed.
