    Alright man,

    You got me on a day where I have time for SOME of these weight classes:

    135
    Julio Cesar Chavez vs Floyd Mayweather - Floyd's troubles w/Castillo at 135 lead me to believe JCC wins at this weight. Floyd wins at 140.
    Roberto Duran vs Manny Pacquiao - Duran stops Pac late. He was just plain and simple better than Manny.
    Pernell Whitaker vs Shane Mosley - Whitaker schools Shane.

    140
    Aaron Pryor vs Kostya Tszyu - It'd be a brutal war for 5-6 rounds, but then the Hawk takes over and runs Kostya's front running self over. Pryor TKO 10, with Tszyu likely quitting on his stool.
    Miguel Cotto vs Ricky Hatton - Cotto busts Hatton up and stops him late. Just better.
    Mel Taylor vs Zab Judah - Taylor beats the ever living crap outta Zab and stops him late.

    147

    Sugar Ray Leonard vs Kid Gavilan - Great matchup. The best you've listed so far. I think the Keed gives Leonard alllll he wants, but in the end I see Leonard pulling out a close one.
    Thomas Hearns vs Sugar Ray Robinson - Tommy fights Robinson on equal terms for a bit - maybe even drops him. But Robinson gets up, and once he lands his hook clean - Tommy ain't getting up.
    Wilfred Benitez vs Felix Trinidad - Benitez schools Tito. There's no way Benitez WOULDN'T be "up" for this fight. Tito would be bewildered.

    I'll get to the rest a bit later.

    About JCC vs Floyd. Bruh. What about JCC's lackluster performances (downright losses!) to Whitaker and Randall, both of whom were inferior to 130-140 lb. Floyd?

    I've always maintained that Spinks would stop Foster in a great fight. He's quicker, and has a better chin, I think his Jinx gets there first, and if it doesn't, I have more faith he can take Foster's than vice versa.

    Qawi is awful for Eddie IMO. He'd counter jab and cut the ring off, going to the body and slipping Eddie's attempts to keep him off. Qawi UD.

    I'd take the Kovalev from the first Ward fight to stop Beterbeiv early. Beterbeiv likes to get in gear so to speak, and I think Kovalev will have been told to go and exploit this. If he doesn't, he gets annihilated to the body late.
