    I was thinking Spinks vs Charles would be alright, but honestly Ezzards not that good.

    Salvador Sanchez already fought Azumah Nelson on July 21 1982 in defense of his WBC Featherweight title in Madison Square Garden. Sanchez decked Nelson in round 7, then went on to stop him in round 15.

    Winner gets Luke Perry.

    I’d like to see Sandy Saddler vs. Eusebio Pedroza, London Prize Ring rules.

    I think for the combination of violence and technical genius, I'd go Roman Gonzalez-Fighting Harada.

    There's always a danger Leonard-Sugar could deliver something civilized.

    Mmmmm, so if Sanchez were to fight Nelson , reckon it would be Sanchez to win in the last round with 1.49 remaining, and score a KD in the 7th after a hard fight , you heard it here first ...;)
    stay safe guys.

    I was thinking more of the later Nelson, after he'd won the title. Honest.

    Duran vs Benny Leonard. I don't know if it would be a great fight, but it's extremely fascinating to imagine!

    Ali vs Joe Luis, to settle once for all who is the GOAT
    Prime Foreman vs Prime Tyson, to end the neverending discussion on who had advantage
    Norton vs Frazier, to complete the serie of interlocked fights between the 70's greats
    Robinson vs Leonard, Battle of the Sugars!!

    Bonus:
    Prime Fairweather vs Prime Pacquiao ... yeah, like Money was ever going to let it happen

    Hearns v. Mayweather over 15.

    It would be tactical, not action packed, but it would pit the most difficult "plan A" guy at 147 against the best mid fight adapter ever at 147.
