    Big Book of Boxing used to run those dream fights. Wish I still had them. There was:

    Holmes-Frazier
    Ali-Cooney
    Ali-Louis
    Hagler-Lamotta
    Hagler-Monzon
    Saad-Moore
    Buchanan-Mancini
    Pep-Pedroza
    Monzon-Zale
    Duran-Pryor
    Duran-Arguello
    Frazier-Marciano
    Robinson-Leonard
    Leonard-Napoles
    Duran-Ayala
    Danny Lopez-Mcguigan

    The magazine would give a detailed round by round synopsis of the "action" too, it was interesting. I didn't agree with many of the outcomes, but that's fine.

    At 126 Sandy Saddler would have been all wrong for Henry Armstrong ...he would be a stronger Fritzie Zivic
