    Armstrong and Chavez would be two terrific wars while a fight with Whitaker would be a very interesting clash of styles. Also wouldnt mind seeing Mayweather being carried out of the ring on a stretcher.

    Interesting poll results. Everyone on that list got at least two votes. I voted Whitaker because of the clash of styles.

    Duran vs Chavez, man what an exciting war that would be. Duran vs Whitaker would be very interesting to see how the styles would matchup

    JC Chavez

    I also think prime 135 Duran would have his hands full with prime 135 lb. Whitaker, but a Chavez fight would be competitive and exciting, not just competitive.

    I would go with Shane Mosley (other). He could bomb at 135 and he had the boxing skills, too.

    Chavez is a more brutal fight .. Whitaker would give Duran fits ..

    :good

    JCC and Floyd.

    The former just to see an all-out war! The latter to decide who the king of the division is.

    I think Mayweather was a bit better than Ray Lampkin.

    Duran might decision him, but I don't see Floyd getting ko'd.

    Chavez, Armtrong, and Whitaker. Off this list Maybe Brown, though Ive never seen him fight but a lot of oldtimers had high praise for him. But the fight I would've LOVED to see was Duran vs Pryor. It wouldve been hell but I see Duran beating Pryor, maybe stopping him late. Duran had all the tools. All of them.
