Ali vs Louis at the top and thats bang on my favourite card of all time.

Holyfield v Spinks?????

at cruiserweight - fantastic matchup. Don't remember him for his fight against Tyson otherwise you will never understand.

Shah Ali v Louis would be a shut out for Ali. C'mon Louis the plodding static heavy against Ali speed of hand and foot. Imagine what the Ali that beat Williams would do to Louis.

Never understood why people bring up that fantasy fight. Pretty one sided if you ask me.

Louis may not be able to move like Ali - and it may be as you say an easy victory although never a shutout - but Louis is a master technician - I would be intrigued to see if Ali had the wits to work him out.

Arguello vs Mayweather

Thats interesting.

very.

as opposed to just utilising his physical superiorty. However - Seriously onetwo - first you call Duran a Bar room brawler now louis a plodder??!!!

Both valid descriptions of two great fighters.

Can't remember any footage of Louis dancing much shah.

neither did Tyson and hes far from a plodder as you could get. Louis was excellent at getting into position and timing fighters right at the point of maximum power on his shots. fantastic coordination.

Defence, parrying the jab, feinting - each of these require at least semi decent footwork to utilise effectively at the level he fought at.

Not dissing his skills Shah but fact is he was a plodder but as you say a great accurate puncher.

Marciano against Dempsey would be a tear up from start to finish.

Arguello against Mayweather I find almost impossible to call, the perfect straight punches of Alexis wouldn't be the easiest thing to counter.

Spinks and Holyfield at cruiserweight could be a intriguing but potentially boring fight, the unorthodox nature of Spinks fighting could prove crucial.

I can't call Arguello v Mayweather either. Pryor with his crazy style really troubled Alexsis.

Both very well conditioned athletes but I can't call it.

I see Pryor beating everyone and anyone at 140lbs so no shame in losing that one, gun to my head would go for Arguello.

Pryor v Duran at 140.

Flyweight - Jimmy Wilde v Benny Lynch

Bantam - Eder Jofre v Carlos Zarate

Feather - Sandy Saddler v Willie Pep all over again

Lightweight - Roberto Duran v Benny Leonard

Welter - The two Sugar Rays

Middle - Stanley Ketchel v Harry Greb

Lightheavy - Sam Langford v Ezzard Charles

Cruiser - Jack Dempsey v Evander Holyfield

Heavy - George Foreman v Mike Tyson

Foreman against Tyson would be an absolute massacre ala Frazier.

I'd make Foreman clear favourite, also, but that is irrelevant to the fact that it would be tremendously exciting while it lasted.

Dempsey v Firpo was a two round shoot out, but it's still one of the most exciting scraps in heavyweight history.

Vitali vs Foreman
Holyfield vs Marciano
Bob Foster vs Roy Jones Jr
LaMotta vs Benn
Hearns vs Robinson
Gatti vs Corrales
Duran vs Mayweather

Ricardo Lopez vs Ivan Calderon
Eder Jofre vs Panama Al Brown
Willie Pep vs Salvador Sanchez
Pernell Whitaker vs Benny Leonard
Ray Leonard vs Ray Robinson
Marvin Hagler vs Carlos Monzon
Roy Jones Jr vs Archie Moore
Jack Johnson vs Muhammad Ali

Excellent shout on Johnson and Ali, I'd like Frazier-Marciano as well.

Some obvious, some not so obvious matchups...
HW - Tyson-Liston.
MW - Fitzsimmons-Griffith.
MW - Monzon-Hagler.
CW - Jeanette-Holyfield
WW/LMW - Burley-Mayweather
LWW - Pacquiao-Pryor
LHW - RJJ-Foster
LHW - Hopkins-Charles

Pacquiao and Pryor could be fun while it lasted Oxy

Unfortunately for Hopkins I see him going very much down the Moore route of being toyed with round after round before being stopped.

Exactly

Maybe Hopkins-Fitzsimmons at MW - over 25 rounds. So Hopkins could watch a "white boy" beat him.

I'm actually trying to think of any fighter I would back to beat Charles at either middleweight or light heavyweight and can't really think of anyone (once in a lifetime wins for Bivins and Marshall aside).

46 year old Hopkins vs 46 year old Moore

HW: Wlad Klitschko v Jack Dempsey
LH: Roy Jones v Ezzard Charles
MW: Bob Fitzsimmons v Carlos Monzon
WW: Ray Robinson v Thomas Hearns
LW: Joe Gans v Floyd Mayweather
