SRR vs SRL

 

:deal

 

Dempsey - Rocky would be a great fight

I'd love to see Wilde destroy Canto so Fleaman could see his greatness :yep

Duran - Benny Leonard

Hearns - Robinson at 147

 

Duran - Pacquiao would be awesome as well

 

I think it would go pretty much the same as Hearns-Leonard with Robinson behind on the cards but catching upto Tommy late on.

 

Yup I'd agree. I don't see any 147lber outboxing Hearns over 15 rounds, so Ray has to stop him which he probably does

 

1 fight i would make over any is frazier vs holyfield...15 rounds of war

duran vs chavez
whitaker vs mayweather jnr
ray robinson vs hearns
roy jones vs ray leonard at middle
hagler vs jake lamotta
ali vs louis
ali vs tyson
frazier vs holmes
mcguigan vs hamed

 

Robinson would knock Hearns out inside a few rounds. Hearns would come at him. Unlike Leonard, Robinson wouldn't take rounds to figure his man out, he'd fight fire with fire and his durability would be key.

Robinson KO2 Hearns

 

i cant see it ending that early mate , i think hearns wouldnt come out all guns blazing because of the respect he woould have for robinson.

i do think that robinson wins but between 10-13 rounds

 

Trying to pot shot a taller, faster, combination punching, 1 shot knock out artist with a diamond chin spells disaster. Floyd would do very well to last 4 rounds. Is Floyds prime even at welter? He threw more with much better power and was faster at SF, you could argue he had his best competition at that weight too and performed better.

Mayweather V's Brian Mitchell would be a great fight.

 

I'm not convinced the fight ends early either. I think Tommy respects his power early and sticks behind the jab. When Ray would get close, he'd unleash that right hand to great effect (so long as he doesnt break it again ala Hagler), he will gain Robbo's respect. I know the man had a great great chin, but Hearns had a great great right hand.

Tommy racks up the early points for me, before being gradually worn down by the pressure brought by Robbo

 

Did Hearns come out boxing early against Leonard? No, he didn't. He changed his output when hurt. He wouldn't have time to regroup against a puncher and finisher of Robinsons' magnitude.

Leonard and Robinson had different mentalities, Leonard, when riled, would sit back and watch his man, Robinson would fight fire with fire. Robbo would not want a dangerman in front of him and would endeavour to put him away I think. Hearns would have little success boxing and moving IMO, as Robbo was too persistent.

He's also a far harder puncher than Leonard IMO, and would slam his jab in with way more authority, negating Hearns' skilled outboxing. Bad matchup for Tommy.

 

**** thats a great call

as are the other 2

 

Bob Foster vs Mike Spinks
Locche vs Pacquiao (@140)
Marciano vs Tua
Abraham vs Benn

This isnt a prime vs prime but...
Young Holyfield vs Old Hopkins (@180 catchweight)

 

I think Abraham-Benn is a little out a left field, but that would be fun!

Just for Flea;

Valero-Pac at 130/5.
