  2. Iron Fist Joe

    Iron Fist Joe Guest

    HW:
    Lewis
    Ali
    Tyson
    V Klitschko
    Holmes
    Foreman

    SMW:

    Jones
    Hopkins (Never fought at the weight, but I think he could have done)
    Calzaghe
    Eubank
    Toney
    Benn

    Welterweight:

    SRR
    SRL
    Mayweather
    Pac
    Hearns
    Duran(? Couldn't decide on a 6th, Duran has proven himself at the weight, and could bring fireworks).

    Although these aren't all the greatest fighters at the weights in history - I think the style matchups could bring some wicked fights.

    That's possible, but unlikely.

    The man was never stopped.


    I don't think Ali stops him. (Outpoints him though,)

    Louis ?

    Admittedly past his prime when Rocky stopped him, but I'd favour Joe by a UD.

    Foreman ?

    Good chance he stops Rocky, but far from certain.

    Holmes ?

    A 50-50 fight, IMO.

    And if either one gets stopped, it's more likely to be Larry.

    Lennox ?

    I would favour Lewis here, possibly by stoppage. But I would lean towards a UD.

    No but hes been hurt/dropped and it may be because he didn't fight anyone from the list, actual size heavyweights with skill (no offense to Rocky though, he has my utmost respect).

    Ali was too fast and would be too accurate. Against a vintage Ali, i say he"d be far too sharp with his jab/combination's and would tko him on cuts. It would be target practice.
    Interesting, i think Foreman completely blows him out. This is the worst possible match up for him IMO.

    Why is that? Larry had one of ( if not the) best jab in heavyweight history and was a very good puncher. Rocky would have a hard time getting in close without being jabbed.

    Lennox ?Hes just all wrong for Marciano

    From an all uk perspective.
    Benn
    Eubank
    Calzaghe
    Froch
    Sibson
    Minter

    Benn vs Froch would be great to watch each trying to be more reckless than the other.
