If there were a hypothetical fighter who weighs 72kg and possesses the traits of these boxers in their prime Ring IQ: Bernard Hopkins Offensive skills: Sugar Ray Leonard Defensive skills: Pernell Whitaker Body size: Thomas Hearns Punching power: Julian Jackson Hand speed: Meldrick Taylor Reflexes: Roy Jones Jr. Strength: Gerald McClellan Durability: James Toney Stamina: Roberto Durán How well would he fare against prime Muhammad Ali if they both had a boxing match in their natural weight?
