    If you could choose any boxers from the past to see him compete today, who would you bring?

    For me, in their prime, in no particular order:


    Muhammad Ali
    Sonny Liston
    Ezzard Charles
    Charles Burley
    Willie Pep
    The 2 Sugar Rays
    Mike Tyson
    Thomas Hearns
    Roy Jones
    Nigel Benn
    Naseem Hamed

    Marvin Hagler - He's my favorite boxer, and he's hell for anyone at middleweight. Could he move up to 168 and destroy the Super Six? Would he need to move up in weight to be effective? Would it slow him down considerably? Who today could challenge him?

    Primo Carnera - Bert Sugar once said that Carnera would destroy the Klitschko's. I think that's bull****, and I'd like to see him proven wrong. Probably not that interesting a fight, but it's always nice to have someone eat their words.

    Harry Greb - No fight footage available? Problem solved. Let's put to sleep any speculation as to how good he really was. If he was fighting guys 15lbs+ heavier than him then, I'd like to see him do that now. I think that would be the most bat**** scenario ever.

    Edit: Although, probably no more bat**** insane than Harry Greb in his day.

    For me there can be only 1 !!!!

    Oscar De La Hoya

    But if im putting my heart to one side for a minute it just has to be Ali , imagine what this man could produce with all the modern era perks , conditioning , less fights , 12 round fights etc etc , i dont think Floyd Mayweather would be the PPV king with this guy around today do you ??? :lol:

    The Canizales brothers. Those cats would take what's currently a good bantamweight division to the next level.
