    Morales v Saddler
    Pryor v Chavez
    Frazier v Marciano
    Arguello v Pacquiao
    Duran v Armstrong

    I cant think of any other fights that would more guarantee a real war as far as styles go.

    No doubt BB.

    Morales v Saddler- as durable as Morales is, this will be tough for him, enjoying the tear up means bad things against this opponent. Morales' durability woulf add to the drama of this bout. Hard to pick for me.

    Pryor v Chavez- a real war, but at 140 i think Pryor was better, though if you wanted you could use the effectiveness argument against me.

    Frazier v Marciano- i'd bet on Rocky cos i like him.

    Arguello v Pacquiao- great fight, Arguello for me at 130.

    Duran v Armstrong- war, Duran for me.

    The only one Id bet big on is probably Arguello over Pacman at 130, the rest are too difficult IMO.

    :good

    Battling Nelson vs Herny Armstrong at lightweight?

    Yeah the Marciano-Dempsey-Fraizer combo.

    Walker vs Ketchal vs Greb. In that order because Walker and Greb all ready fought lol.

    Pavilk vs Fullmer would be a good one, perhaps even Basilio. Might as well add Zale vs Fullmer and Basilio also.

    Ted Kid Lewis vs Walker at welterweight perhaps??

    Duran vs any atg slugger like Fullmer or Basilio, or even Walker would be a must.

    Not sure I bet big on this, Arguello is a great fighter, but so is Pac imo. Its one of thsos that could go the other way imo.

    I dont want to lose my house because Pac pull out a win in a close fight.

    Duran vs Ike Williams

    Matthew Saad Muhummed vs Bob Satterfield

    Benny Briscoe vs Gerald McClellan

    An undertrained Ruben Olivares vs Israel Vasquez

    Diego Corrales vs Freddie Pendleton


    Apart from Williams-Duran..which would be a drawn out tussle IMO...Id be suprised if any of those fights made it past the 6th..they would be brutal shootouts.
    Actually Briscoe-G Man would probably go into the later stages.
