    I think Ike Ibeatahoochie could've given a lot of ATG Heavies hell, assuming of course his head was screwed on at about 50%.

    Tua is not a bad pick.

    When two come forward fighters with concusive power and superior chins meet head on then the result can get a bit random even if one fighter is much better than the other.

    Luis Firpo was not good enough to lace up Jack Dempseys boxing gloves yet he nearly scored a huge upset.

    Prime Bowe is hardly a mediocre fighter, he'd be a tough fight for anyone.

    I would say Julian Jackson was capable of beating pretty much anyone in his weight class, except Marvin Hagler.

    Well, Jackson wasn't exactly a natural middleweight.

    I can't see anyone's chin taking his bombs at 154 unscathed, really.

    Antonio Margarito's size and style would see him break down and defeat classier, smaller fighters at 147 IMO.
