I’d go for Hagler vs Hopkins, although I haven’t a clue what version of Hopkins I’d call his prime. While I think it would be an incredibly interesting match-up, I recognise there likely wouldn’t be a whole lot of action. I’d probably put Aaron Pryor vs Manny Pacquiao on the undercard for a bit of entertainment value, both Pryor and Pac are allowed to use the infamous black bottle. Pryor v Leonard was one that got away. Duran vs Mosley at 135. Or Duran v Pacquaio at the Same weight. Think Duran is too crafty and relentless. Frazier v Tyson There are too many to choose from. How about Ricky Hatton v Mickey Ward? Hatton could obviously out box him, but imagine these two guys standing trading body punches. | ||

Hatton v Ward would be a fun scrap. Mayweather would give Duran trouble at 135. Though Floyd struggled bad with Castillo (losing the first fight). Floyd was a beast at 130-140. Roy Jones vs Michael Spinks at 175 would be interesting. Jones Jr hardly lost a round in his peak, but Spinks was a very big guy at light heavy, with great skills and power. | ||
