Who are your favorite retired boxers? How succesful would they versus current boxers?

I would LOVE to see a prime Roy Jones Jr. against Ward or Martinez. I think Roy would make easy work of Ward. I think Sergio would be a much more entertaining fight. But Sergio's defense relies HEAVILY on his feet's ability to get him out of harm's way. RJJ is more than fast enough to take that away. RJJ vs. Martinez would be a dream match up to me. Two quick, unorthodox styled fighters, one righty one lefty. Good stuff.

Honestly though, anyone who fought in the early 90's or prior to that would stop or defeat any of todays fighters Your nonsense stems from an illusion: 90s (and prior) boxing consisted mainly of US boxers boxing US boxers. Hence you think that US boxers were any good, because there was always an US boxer winning. In reality the opposite is true: US boxers were untested and judging by how fast they disappeared as soon as (ex-)soviets entered the arena they were never really good. All the Alis, Foremans, Tysons would be B-level fighters nowadays. They already struggled during their own eras, nowadays they would get killed.

Roberto Duran - would walk through anybody out there at the lighter divisions. Ali - would easily dispatch everyone out there including the Klitchkos Marvin Hagler -Same deal destroys everyone and everything out there. George Foreman - destroys everyone (The heavyweight Division is horrible now) Pernell whitaker - Mayweather gives some trouble but still loses to him. Evaynder Holyfield - The klitchkos size might trouble him but at light heavy he stops everybody out there (At cruiser same thing). Honestly though, anyone who fought in the early 90's or prior to that would stop or defeat any of todays fighters with the exception of Mayweather, perhaps young Jones and Pacquaio. (In the past the fighters trained to fight 12-15 rounds. Not 8 rounds like today's fighters. Most of todays fighters have to be threatened just to get them to come in shape. Half of them whine over money etc and then they do everything they can to train less than necessary. Or they train just enough to get a W. THe Klitchkos also consistently come into the ring in shape but alas (They are just not great. They are good but alive in a division that has noo talent at all. When your biggest threats are blown up light-heavies and cruisers then something is wrong) "anyone who fought in the early 90's or prior to that would stop or defeat any of todays fighters" I see Butterbean destroys Wlad, Naseem Hamed destroys Pacman and Vinny Paz destroys Ward...

Tyson - He would blast everyone in the HW division today. Hagler - He would be undisputed MW champ. Hearns - at 147..I think he would be the most avoided guy out there today. Benitez - at 140 school everyone at 140 Trinidad - at 154 wish he would of stayed at 154..he looked like a monster. I dont see anyone today at 154 beating him

Monzon would clean out 160 with very little bother. Alexis Arguello would dominate 130-135. Might have some problems at 126 and 140. Harold Johnson would beat everyone at 175 today. Dick Tiger would be Champion at 160 but could see him having a series with Martinez.

Mathew Saad Muhammad....would toss Dawson around like a rag doll at 175...no doubt he would be champ today Mike Tyson....with Mike you never know...a loose cannon Prince Hamed....would love to see him and Vic Darchinyan go at it...oh man!!..2 awkward dudes who can turn your lights out if they connect....of course I got Naz winning that!! Lennox Lewis......would be undisputed champ today....maybe he would've lost to Vitali one day...but I bet he would've gotten revenge in typical Lennox Lewis fashion Dariusz Michalczewski....another dude who I think could give Chad a mean fight....Dariusz beats Cloud and Clev imo

Pernell Whitaker- He'd beat anyone at 135-140. The only guy at 147 who would make it a really tough fight would be Mayweather. Roy Jones Jr- Jones vs Sergio would be interesting at 160, but I'd still favor Roy. He beats anyone at 168, with Andre Ward making it the most competitive, and he beats anyone at 175. Sugar Ray Leonard- He beats any Welterweight today, yes he beats Mayweather, even in his prime at WW (06-07). Stevie Johnston- He'd beat anyone at Lightweight today, with the exception of possibly Broner. I'd have to see Broner against more opposition at 135 first. Ron Lyle- He'd beat any Heavyweight today with the exception of Wlad and Vitali, and Haye would be 50-50 probably. Ali- He beats any HW today hands down. In his prime of course. Castillo- He beats any Lightweight today, with the exception of Broner and maybe Vazquez. I think Castillo was good enough pressure fighter, probably one of the most underrated pressure fights, to make Vazquez uncomfortable in there as well as Broner. I don't know what Broner would have done against an amazing pressure fighter like Castillo, who could take his punches and keep coming. It'd be very interesting. Castillo is crazy unedrrated. Floyd Patterson- His chin was so bad, but he had enough skills to beat top HW's until he ran into Sonny Liston. He still probably beats most of these slow and robotic HW's H2H, except Vitali/Wlad/Haye. Wright- He would make a tough fight for anyone from 154-160. Floyd and Trout would be tough fights for him, really close fights. He beats the rest though, and Sergio/Golovkin would be pick em' fights at 160.

mike tyson. in his prime, current HW boxers won't last 6 rounds.

hvy Joe Louis - Would be champion today 200 Visily Jirov - Would hold a belt today 175 Micheal Spinks - Would be champion today 168 Roy Jones - Would be champion today 160 Marvin Hagler - Would be champion today 154 Vinny Pazienza - May squeeze in the top 10 today at his best 147 Tommy Hearns - Would be champion today 140 Barney Ross - Would be champion today 135 Benny Leonard - Would be champion today 130 Alexis Arguello - would be champion today 126 Willie Pep - Would be champion today 122 Wilfredo Gomez - Would be a beltholder and top 3 today Anything below this and I'd be lying if I said I had favorite fighters in those divisions.

Nigel Benn... v Carl Froch - I think a prime Benn cracks that chin in a war, you can only take so many Benn bombs flush v Andre Ward - could get very messy, a dirty fight imo maybe even a DQ, I don't think Benn would take kindly to Ward's style v Kessler - I think Benn would find Kessler's height a challenge but if he could draw him into a battle like Froch did he could get the W v Dirrell - I think he KO's Dirrell or makes him quit I favor Benn against everyone except Ward. The guy was tough and determined and that goes a long way.
