Ah, so it’s fantasy matches not often proffered if at all. I like Liston v Jimmy Young. Testing and frustrating for Sonny ala Machen but, at least as I see it, a fight that would show off Liston’s rounded skills over a number of rounds and I can actually see Sonny catching up with Jimmy sufficiently to put him out.
Wilfredo Gomez vs Jaimie Garza Bernard Taylor vs Salvador Sanchez. Gato Gonzalez vs Johnny Verderosa Dwight Davison vs Mustafa Hamsho.
Cory Spinks vs Kelly Pavlik. Spinks nearly beat Taylor but against Pavlik he would be facing a slower dude that struggled with movement. If Kelly couldn't plant his feet he was ineffective. I believe Cory could box his head off but Pavlik would obviously be favored as he should with his bone crunching power. It's just a stylistic flaw that BHOP and Martinez exploited. I have seen Cory absolutely clown big dudes in the gym. He stayed at 147 for one fight too long.
Muhammad Ali vs Jersey Joe Walcott Terry Norris vs Fernando Vargas Oscar Dela Hoya vs Winky Wright Meldrick Taylor vs Hector Camacho
Okay just thought about this one, Rocky Marciano vs Derrick Jefferson Why? Because Marciano's right he landed on Walcott in their first is the best in heavyweight history and the same for Derrick Jefferson's left hook he landed on Maurice Harris.
Yeah, I always wondered how that matchup would have turned out. Salvador probably edges him, but he would be really frustrated.
