USA v The Rest Of The World

Heavyweight-

Joe Louis vs Lennox Lewis

Louis should win but it is not a given.

Light Heavyweight-

Ezzard Charles vs Sam Langford

I like Langford but anything could happen.

Middleweight-

Harry Greb vs Bob Fitzsimmons

I like Greb but an upset is not out of the question. If I were specificaly looking for a foil for Greb I might pick Marcel Cerdan.

Welterweight-

Ray Robinson vs Barbados Joe Walcott

Walcott has a good chance here for stylistic reasons.

Lightweight-

Joe Gans vs Roberto Duran

Pick em fight

Featherweight-

Henry Armstrong vs Alexis Arguallo

I like Armstrong but an Arguallo win is possible.

Bantemweight-

Terry McGovern vs George Dixon

This one actually took place and we all know the result. Prime for prime a Dixon win is on the cards.

Flyweight-

Fidel La Barba vs Jimmy Wilde.

Wilde should take it.

 

it's draw.

 

Intruiging thread.

Robinson
Duran

Ali v Lewis
Charles v Conteh/Galindez
Greb v Monzon
Robinson v Lewis/Mclarnin
Leonard v Duran
Pep v Driscoll

 

The heavyweight championship used to be the exclusive property of the US. The same way that the bantamweight title used to belong to Mexico.

 

Pea incurs the only loss, IMO, just off the cuff.
