Hearns vs. ANYONE at 154.
This is how I'd see it:
Whitaker outpoints the poor mans version of himself over 12 rounds. I'd say an 8-4 decision would be about right...maybe 7-4-1. Quicker and craftier in his prime, with a bit less power.
The version of Bowe that fought Holy in their first fight stops prime Foreman late with a hard uppercut...after weathering the early Foreman onslaught and picking himself up off the canvas.
Hearns is up on the scorecards by 1 round, in a scheduled 15 round bout, until Ray stops him in the 12th with a devastating left hook.
Duran stops Chavez in the 13th round after an all-out slugfest. We'd see two of the toughest bastards to ever do it but Durans better boxing skills would help him land of Chavez a bit more frequently.
In a 15 round bout, Hagler stops Toney in the 13th or 14 after taking a pretty bad beating himself. This is probably my biggest dream fight.
Ali would take a very close decision over Holmes, who would bitch about being robbed. Holmes' jab would give Ali hell.
Jones potshots and stays away from Moore all night en route to a comfortable decision.
I'm completely stumped about Holy/Rocky. I think Holy would win a razor thin decision over 15 rounds. :confused:
Morales was very strong at 122 and Gomez was one of the best ever at this weight. I'd favor Morales to win a close decision based on his versatility and natural boxing ability.
Leonard would box Trinidads ears off and stop him in the later rounds.
I put the last one out on the table because I think there could really be a case made for Hearns being the best 154 pounder ever. He was a murderous puncher there and still retained a lot of his speed.
Tito Trinidad vs. Hopkins 2, Chavez, James Toney, Roy Jones Jr, Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Oscar 2, Jeff Lacy.
Win or lose for Trinidad, great match ups :D
Gomez vs. Sanchez 2
Tyson vs. Foreman
James Toney vs. Hopkins
Benitez vs. Hearns 2
You know as well as I know, that Trinidad would get destroyed by Marvin hagler. What can Trinidad do against a guy he can't hurt? The only way for him to hope for a victory against Hagler is to cut Hagler up and hope for a stoppage. Hagler can out-point Tito, out-muscle Tito, and out-brawl Tito. What strong point does Tito have against a guy like Hagler? Power? That power is negated by Hagler's excellent punch-resistance.
a couple prime vs prime that i'd like to see
Ali Vs Tyson, Tyson Vs. Foreman, Sonny Liston Vs. Rocky Marciano, Aaron Pryor Vs JC Chavez at Welter, Hearns Vs Trinidad

Gomez vs. Sanchez 2
Tyson vs. Foreman
James Toney vs. Hopkins
Tito would lose to Hopkins, Toney, RJJ, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns for sure. He'd be too strong for Duran at 160, but would lose to him at 147. He'd be too strong for Chavez at 147. I'd make Oscar the slight favorite at 147 and he'd be even money against Lacy.
Sanchez would most likely beat Gomez again...kind of like Pac/Morales. Foreman would brutally KO Tyson. I'd favor Toney against Hopkins. Just a little commentary...I dont know why.
dream fight: Felix Sturm vs. Marvin Hagler, oh wait that's a ridiculous mismatch, nevermind
haha. "But Sturm has a top three jab right now"... :rolleyes:
