    I would like to see Fights 1st that answer questions not only for me, but for all of boxing, then I would get into more of my own personal preferences. these 10 to me would answer a lot of questions not only about the 2 involved but for a lot of others. 1. Duran - Pryor JWW 2. Dempsey - Langford HW 3. Greb vs Langford LHW 4. Tunney - Wills HW 5. Monzon - Hagler MW 6. Tyson - Foreman HW 7. Tony Ayala Jr. - Nigel Benn JMW 8. Benny Leonard - Duran LW 9. Dempsey - J. Johnson HW 10. Marciano - Lison HW. to me these 10 would answer a lot of questions and help everyone better place these fighters where they belong on all time lists, I would love to see Langford, Pryor & Dempsey fight more to see where they properly place in the rankings.

    I had that in mind, my friend. But that fight was one of the most inconclusive, ref-interfering fights in history imo. Bowe was winning, jumping up and down on his toes with hands raised high when the fight was stopped. Easy to call bull**** on that one.

    Yes, I meant only it really happened. Everyone would have wished the two fought again for a title.

    With my Fantasy fights, I would like as many questions answered on at least 1 if not both fighters.
    1. Pryor vs Duran at JWW as Duran headed to WW,he offered Pryor $750,000 and never got a reply to his timely offer. would have answered a big question on Pryor how does with Duran, I say DURAN BY KO!.
    2. Jack Dempsey vs. Sam Langford - HW - this could have and should have happened, maybe not in Sam's prime but at least it would have answered some questions, I say Dempsey via KO mid rounds, if McVea, Jeannette and others could do it to Sam, so could one of the top 5 greatest HW's of all time.
    3. Dempsey vs. Harry Wills, - Wills the #1 Contender for a long time, should have happened, Dempsey via KO, too late in WIlls career at that time, even in prime Dempsey.
    4. Michael Spinks vs Bob Foster - again would clear up some at LHW, I go with Spinks either TKO or UD.
    5. Michael Spinks vs Gene Tunney - LHW - to clear up more questions on Spinks & Tunney.
    6. Mike Tyson vs. Joe Louis HW - to see where Tyson could possibly fall in the All Time rankings, above or below Louis. Louis takes this one one way or another.
    7. Eder Jofre vs Wilfredo Gomez - BW - I love Gomez, one of my all time favorite fighters, but Jofre takes it via UD in a tough one.
    8. Tony Ayala Jr. vs. Nigel Benn at JMW to answer the many unanswered ones on Ayala and this would be a good one for it, we don't know enough about Tony for sure to be able to pick him or not, so I give Benn the edge via UD.
    9. Mike McCallum vs. Marvin Hagler, both in Prime, at whatever weight Mike felt best at, would have been interesting and answered a lot about McCallum, and probably added to Haglers career, I just think Mike was not as good at MW, and maybe it was just a bit too much of a step up, some guys can do it easily, and others have shown they can't, but even at a catch weight for Mike, Hagler still takes it..
    10. Rocky Marciano vs Sonny Liston - definitely could have happened if Rock had not retired too soon, and would have helped either of their careers, and rankings. I would go with Marciano TKO.
