    Mayweather = castillo 1 and maidana 1
    Marciano = if there was only 12 rounds he would not be undefeated
    Joshua = klitschko
    Calzaghe = none really
    GGG = arguably jacobs

    Mayweather - by most accounts it's the first fight with Castillo but then against Oscar I had him just behind after 10 rounds and he pulled out the win in the last couple of rounds. It was very close, although a fair decision.
    Marciano - the first LaStarza fight?
    Joshua - Klitschko, without question
    Calzaghe - probably Hopkins. Although he deservedly beat Eubank, I remember him saying it was his toughest fight.
    GGG - Canelo, if you're Adelaide Byrd.

    With a modern ref and doctor, Marciano-Charles II would have been stopped.

    I thought Floyd lost to Castillo the first time around.

    For Joe, the Reid fight. I thought Joe had taken total control of Hopkins after a few rounds.
