Julio Cesar Chavez. In his prime he fought at 140, but he'd give Manny a hell of a fight @ a 144 catch weight and even Floyd @ 147. I would pay 1k PPV's to see him today in his prime. In his prime Chavez had one of the best chins in the history of boxing, broke you down with his body shots that set up a late round KO, and had great skin. Chavez wouldn't even cut or bleed in a fight. I honestly think he beats Pacquiao and Floyd. Im thinking of how uncomfortable Castillo's pressure made Floyd, and can only imagine what Chavez and his body punches could have done to Mayweather.
And Roberto Duran as well. Duran needs no explanation.
Ali vs the Klits....obvious reasons
Prime Roy Jr. (SMW) vs Andre Ward....Relfexes and athleticism vs. all-around fighter
JCC Sr. (140lbs) vs. Pacquiao (140lb)...Guaranteed action
Tito Trinidad (147lbs) vs Mayweather (147lbs)....Would like to see if Floyd could keep Tito off him for 12 rounds.
Zarate (118lbs) vs Donaire (118lbs)......little guys can fight too right?
I don't think Zarate was so little, I think around 5'9" or 5'10"..... He was a killer.
I'd bring prime Roy and Hearns back. Roy would bulldoze his way through the super 6 tournament and Hearns would straight up ice all the top welters and super welters, 60/40 fight in his favor against Floyd.
Would love to see Sugar Ray Leonard cut a wide swathe through the lightweight, light welter and welterweight divisions. He would just clean fvcking house. All the Floyd and Pac stans would be in therapy and calling hotlines and having social workers over at their houses.
What fighter(s) would you have loved to see fight in this era and specifically why?
