    If you could arrange any three matches across all eras (boxers at the peak of their powers) what would they be? Oh, and how would you see each fight going? Thoughts on the other hypothetical fights others post would be appreciated too!

    Mine would be as follows:

    Frampton vs McGuigan (featherweight).
    I think this could be a cracker. I'd fancy Barry to present a stiff test, especially in the early rounds, but I'd go for Carl on points.

    Eubank Sr Vs BJ Saunders (super middleweight)
    This would be spicy I think - especially if we could factor in all the recent bad blood between Saunders and the Eubanks. As a boxer (not brawler) I think Sr was levels above Jr, although BJ on most recent form was super impressive. I'm torn between a points win for BJ or a late knock out for Sr.

    Nigel Benn vs Golovkin (super middleweight)
    Surely an amazing war of a fight. Can't pick a winner. Leaning towards Golovkin (perhaps as he's current), but Benn was such a hard hitting warrior.

    Cheers!

    Great matches except Mayweather. . . .Leonard is too talented for a fight versus a light hitting Mayweather and his shoulder roll with an occassional lead right hand.

    Idk man. Floyd should not be underestimated.
    But its one of those historic matches one would love to see. Leonard would have a size a power advantage, but Floyd is definitely the smarter fighter.

    Damn, i should do a film study. I love watching Leonard and i love watching Floyd adapt to situations.
