    Old Foreman vs prime Mike Tyson would be very interesting. Foreman is a bad matchup for him and he was never even dropped once in his 2nd career. But Tyson was so much faster than old Foreman, I have no idea what would happen.

    Although may have been a little early for Floyd and late for Naz.

    Would have loved mayweather v hamed.

    I went for Lewis Bowe but that's a good one. Although it's a big ask to beat Ali in your pro debut however many medals you've won...

    Throw Trinidad-Quartey at 147 into the mix. Hard to see any scenario where it isn't value for money.

    Hamed-Marquez would have been fascinating at the time JMM was no.1 contender, and could have completely changed the shape of the division and the Barrera-Morales-Marquez-Pacquiao hegemony may have emerged sooner (or not at all).

    Chavez-Camacho in 1985 would have been much more interesting that the one-sided drubbing in 1992.

    Ricardo Lopez against Carbajal or Chiquita in 1993 would have been a classic.
