    These are some fantastic lists!

    Greb vs Dempsey- jack wasn't the biggest of Hw's. I say this is almost a pick 'em fight.

    Robinson vs Burley at Welterweight. This probably would've been ray's toughest fight in the WW division.

    Robinson vs Cocoa Kid

    Langford vs Johnson II- would've loved to seen how Langford would've fared after he adjusted to the heavier weight classes for a while. White America wasn't going to let the world champion take on the colored heavyweight champion though.

    Duran Vs Pryor

    Leonard vs Pryor

    Hagler vs Leonard in the early 80's

    Jones vs Hopkins 2--while both were still in their respective primes in the late 90's.

    Mayweather vs casamayor at 135, Kostya at 140 and pacman at 147.
