    Im not talking the best fighting the best. Im asking which matches you would like to see if you could have a four fight dream card, assuming they are all in their primes. This is a style fight card. A spectacle where every fight would be an all out war.

    Here's an example:

    Margarito vs Bam Bam Rios
    Mayorga vs Kirkland
    Tsyzu vs Matthysse

    Main event: Tyson vs Morrison

    Henry Armstrong vs Willie Pep is the ultimate stylistic clash... pure pressure vs pure boxing in its highest form.

    Hagler would just counterpunch McClellan all night long.

    I'd still be interested because of how huge McClellan was at Middleweight and how hard he hit; his physical dimensions, size, power, toughness, and boxing skills would all present Marvin with some big problems (I think Hagler wins, but it'd be tough for him.)

    Would I come across as crazy, if I suggest that Hagler walks right through G-man?

    Yes, because Hagler was a counter puncher.
    Not a come forward slugger. (Hearns was an exception, Hagler was very out of character)

    This would be a massacre in Duran`s favour. Exciting while it lasted though probably.

    Gatti vs katsidis is a great shout although i reckon a late gatti stoppage.

    katsidis vs alvarado would be good
