Fantasy PPV Event (Friday Fun)

You can use any boxers from any era. The card is basically 5 main events at any weight. The scenario is a once in a lifetime PPV created in your own head. What boxers would you love to see face off against each other?

Mine would be

Pacquiao vs Mayweather (2009 versions)

Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali

Carl Froch vs Joe Calzaghe

Mike Tyson vs Joe Louis

Sergio Martinez vs Roy Jones Jr at Middleweight.

Yours?

Got to agree with your first!!

Maybe JJ against Wills or Langford, just to shut Jeff up if anything....

Got to have a Hearns fight in there, as he's my favourite boxer ever, but would want to see him against PBF who's already used up against Manny, so maybe against ODLH @ 147....

I'd try these ones...never been mooted before (or at least not that I'm aware of)

Round robin of Michael Spinks, RJJ and Andre Ward at LH

Peter Jackson v John L Sullivan

Tyson v Ibeabuchi

A distinctly British slant to mine...

Hamed v McGuigan

Hatton v Khan

Calzaghe v Benn

Cleverly v Conteh

Haye v Bruno

Bit stingy of you to only give us five slots, Jabby!

Muhammad Ali versus Mike Tyson
Ray Leonard versus Ray Robinson
Gene Tunney versus Roy Jones Jr
Pernell Whitaker versus Roberto Duran
Ricardo Lopez versus Jimmy Wilde

Ali - Louis
Greb - Jones
Qawi - Haye (at cruiser)
Leonard - Hearns at 154
Ward - Calzaghe

H/W Ali v Louis

LHW Holyfield v Moore

M/W Haglar v Monzon

W/W jabmachine v Brook  

Oh mamma, this is tricky

Might have to mull this over whilst looking at your fine lists!

Ha ha I love this kind of stuff.............

Venue : Caesars Palace outdoor arena.............

7pm - Don Curry vs Lloyd Honeyghan...Jr midd

8pm - Julio cesar Chavez vs Roberto Duran........lightweight

9pm - Evander Holyfield vs Rocky Marciano......Cruiserweight

10pm - Joe Louis vs Jack Johnson ........Heavyweight

11pm - Ray Robinson vs Ray Leonard..........Welterweight

It was actually your post on Liston vs Foreman that inspired this Truss.

I have to admit, Whittaker vs Duran would have been a great fight Chris! Robinson vs Leonard would have been a cracker, can't see Leonard really beating Robbo, but it would have been some fight!

Holyfield vs Marciano would have been interesting, think Rocky takes it though.

Interesting to see Ward vs Calzaghe, think it would have been a stinker, but we would be in no doubt as to who the greatest SMW was of the past 20 years!

I don't think Whittaker v Duran is a great fight......He'd be holding and turning him and running all night...

Whittaker...Juan Nazario apart didn't do good fights Mate..

Wouldn't be on any of my dream bills.........great fighter though..

Hamed v Pacquiao
Benn V Toney
Eubank v RJJ
Holyfield v Haye (cruiser)
Lewis v Bowe

Haye runs all night against Holy.........

Rjj-Eubank is a dull mismatch..

Manny does a Barrera type job on Hamed..Good pick

Bowe bangs Lewis out pre 1994 and probably Lewis by decision after..good pick

Toney probably outlasts Benn...

Corbett - Fitzsimmons 2 would be my sixth choice..

1. maybe
2. possibly but Eubank round 11 KO worth the wait.
3. maybe
4. see a lewis victory in 5
5. think benn would be controversially stopped having rearranged Toney's boat.

Honestly think Eubank beats RJJ do you ???..Hoppo couldn't..

Lewis Mismatch pre 1994.....Bowe easy...Bowe messed up not taking him on pre-steward......Lewis doesn't stop Bowe......Same tactics as Holy fights

Toney too clever for Benn..

Don't let your love of your country dull your senses..

think RJJ always had a glass chin. accident waiting too happen and think Eubank had a 35% chance of connecting at some point due to his own ability to take punishment.

An accident waiting to happen..........and Benn beats Toney too.

I thought Benn and Eubank overachieved...But alas according to your logic they should have been Top 20 alltime greats....

Yeah okay!!!!

Robinson vs Burley

Ketchel vs Langford

Dempsey vs Wills

Floyd vs Manny

Charles vs Jones

Changed my mind scrub Dempsey Wills and lets see Duran in with Benny Leonard so we can finally be done with this nonsense about Roberto being the best lightweight

You haven't said who you think wins Rowley....

Ali vs Tyson
Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2009 versions
JRR vs Ward
Golovkin vs Hearns
Hamed vs Morales (primes)

Oh and id pick Tyson via LKO, Mayweather UD, Jones JR LKO, Golovkin UD, Morales UD

Langford stops Ketchel any point after half way.

Leonard takes a close decision over Duran

Charles stops Jones late

Floyd beats Manny but maybe gets jobbed on the cards

Robinson Burley is too close to call.

Pacquiao v Mayweather

Dempsey v Marciano

Hearns v Leonard at 154

Robinson v Burley

Moorer v Foster

You pick Golovkin to beat Hearns, so I'm presuming Golovkin connects solidly at least a few times over the fight. Really think Hearns could get up from that?

No john, id presume that they would both be cagey and would land the occasional bomb and it could indeed end that way, I just think Golovkin lands a few late on to rally a finish, but chooses to outbox the big puncher.

A certain poster wouldn't think it was a jobbing for Floyd.....

Thought Ketchel would be the easiest to call........

Think RJJ may be too smart......but who is to say...

wouldn't argue about the others..........

It's been a good day guys....I don't want all this again ???

Hahaha sorry Truss, couldn't resits.

Been a heavy lunch so my usual restraint isn't quite so evident.......

I'm not interested......

Ah I see your thinking mobile.

For me Hearns could only lose it by KO as he was an excellent pure boxer but with two massive punchers caginess would be likely.

TRUSSMAN66 wrote:It's been a good day guys....I don't want all this again ???

Don't be so sensitive princess.

Golovkin hasn't earned the right to say he'd KO Hearns yet. Hasn't fought anyone like him and Hearns name is etched in ATG lists. Golovkin while being a very good prospect - isn't quite at the level where we can throw him in with him yet and say he'd win, although I do see the logic MM.

If we're looking at explosive fights guaranteed a KO then what about Tyson vs Foreman?

Can we debate the subject in hand rather than having the petty squabbling please. It is a Friday and roasting hot, we surely have better things to do.

Yeh like go home.....only an hour or sonlads!!!

First to admit prefer to watch knockout specialists

Dempsey v Tyson
Jackson v Hearns
Sanchez v Hamed
Duran v Pacquaio
Foster v Fitzsimmons

I reckon Jeff might pay for boxnation for that bill.

Cheers Rodders

To see Naz back in action Rodders Frank can happily have ten pounds off me.

Not sure many earned the right but did....

Hard to see Golotty shipping a Shuler right..

When you become half-relevant on here and get moronic stalkers..

See how you like it...  

Pacquiao takes Duran out

mobilemaster8 wrote:Pacquiao takes Duran out

Depends what supplements he takes before the fight.

Some good ones have already appeared -- will try to be creative:

Hearns vs Trinidad
Pryor vs Pacquiao (Hawk can bring his bottle, Pacquiao can bring Ariza).
Hagler vs Golovkin
Sanchez vs Barrera
Chacon vs Gatti

Haz..................Agree ??

Hearns ko 2 Trinidad
Pryor ko 14
Hagler ko 11
Sanchez by decision
Gatti k09

Good picks Truss. But missed something......Pacquiao KO's them all.

A few different options that might be interesting.

Modern era fighters in a Prizefighter style Light Welterweight competition to start things off, no idea who wins this but there will be claret everywhere.

Gatti vs Katsidis
Corrales vs Rios
Matthysse vs Ortiz
Ward vs Maidana

Wilfredo Gomez vs Donaire

Juan Manuel Marquez vs Erik Morales (it's the only fight missing from the lot of them with Manny and Barrera)

Floyd Mayweather vs Julio Cesar Chavez

Bit of variety and to keep the thread going, what would be your five domestic fantasy match ups. Will get the ball rolling with

Naz vs Barry Mcguigan

Herol Graham vs Jock Mcavoy

Frank Bruno vs David Haye

Froch vs Eubank

John Conteh vs Calzaghe

Mayweather beats chavez all night long for me.........better fighter than meldrick....
