Your top 5 dream fights...

Sanchez vs Naz
Conteh vs Kovalev
Duran vs Mayweather
Jofre vs Lomachenko
Gavilan vs Pac

 

Can't really disagree with too much of that.

I think GGG beats Jackson handily too. Just love to see that iron chin take a few of the Hawks bombs.

Again I think Hatton would overwhelm Gatti in the end. But both are easy to hit, it'd be a fun fight!

I'm convinced Ali schools Tyson, he'd get into his head before the fight, then keep him on the end of his jab all night. It would be fascinating to watch the build up and trash talk from Ali before though.

Tyson v Tua just because it's two powerhouses throwing bombs. It would be x-rated while it lasted. But I think a prime Tyson takes it.

Marciano v Holyfield is very tough though. Holyfield has a huge reach advantage and very significant height advantage too. If he could get his jab working I could see a long night for Rocky. But Rocky was a tank, he destroyed men souls. Can't give it more than 51-49 either way though both absolute warriors.

 

Pacquiao Vs Floyd in 2009 not 2015.

Tyson Fury Vs AJ 2018, with Fury making a healthy return in top form.

Khan Garcia 2, Fun tough fight...probably would finish them both off career wise.

Rigo Loma, Can't believe it's happening. YES.

 

Mayweather v Lomachenko at 130.

 

Duran v Chavez in their primes.

 

Benn vs Froch
Hearns vs Mayweather
Ward vs Ezzard Charles
Dempsey vs Marciano
Holyfield vs Louis
Wlad vs Lewis
Hagler vs GGG
Eubank Jnr vs Benn Snr

No way could I pick just 5

 

I appreciate the detailed reply, but have to vehemently disagree with Marciano/Holyfield being 51-49. The only way Marciano EVER loses to a sub 200-lb fighter is by doctor stoppage due to a freak injury like the split nose he suffered against Ezzard Charles.

FYI, I’m a 42 yr old Hispanic/black American. I say that to say this, Marciano does not get the credit he deserves. Aside from a large number of Mayweather fans, whose knowledge of boxing coincides day for day with his career, most people will not admit they hold the color of Marciano’s skin against him.

We all know Marciano was easy to hit, had short arms, could be beat to the punch, and caught a few ATGs at the end of their careers. However this does not mean he was not as good as his record suggests. I admit he would not be HW champion today, but he’d make for some must see TV cruiserweight fights. I believe his pain tolerance, ability to carry maximum punching power, for as long as the fight lasts, and overall refusal to lose make him too much for any sub 200-lb fighter in history and any version of Evander Holyfield. Evan Fields (PED version of Holyfield) may be a different story.

Holyfield does indeed have height and reach advantages. However, these shortcomings (pun intended) would have done absolutely nothing to keep Marciano off of him. Even if Holyfield got the best version of his oft-neglected jab going, Marciano would refuse to stay at the end of it. Once he gets inside, Holyfield has 2 options, tie up or engage in a firefight. Holyfield is all dog and you know as well as I do which option he chooses. That my friend is why I believe Marciano gives him a frightful and career altering beating.

Azumah Nelson vs Brian Mitchell

Yeah the Wlad vs Lewis fight I REALLY wanted to happen back in 2002-2003 but it wasn’t meant to be. I think that Wlad, though not in his prime years yet, still had a great shot at catching Lewis. I can see Lewis getting aggregated and start to do that goofing off smiling stuff like he did with Rahman after Wlad starts to out jab him and catch him with shots. Then that lead left out of nowhere would get through.

Marciano with beat the **** out of Ward and also play dirty too if need be. Would be a treat to watch.
