In all of history, which 2 fighters would have made for the most exciting match up?

No way Duran beats Chavez easily. He'd edge him out after 15 rounds of the best inside fighting you could hope to witness.

....and if you think Duran KOs Chavez you are actually overrating Duran in all ways.

Duran was better on the inside, in fact Whitaker beat Chavez on the inside, he would batter him over 12 rounds and it might get stopped if it was 15.

Duran may have had a great struggle with Whitaker as well. We have nothing to gauge it on because in his prime Duran came no where near facing anyone as slick and excellent as Whitaker.

Hagler vs GGG, Trinidad vs Duran and Chavez vs Paquiao would be my 1st 3 choices, someone said Frazier vs a prime Holyfield Wow what a WAR this would be, good choice.

Ron Lyle vs. any top heavyweight contender from anytime. He was awesome man

I don't consider DLH a great opponent. He was at least one level below Leonard.

Leonard never dominated anyone the caliber of DLH.

Ron Lyle vs. any top heavyweight contender from anytime. He was awesome man

Awesome power anyway. I think he was the only other guy to knock down Foreman besides Ali.

Shane Vs Duran. Would have been goooood.

In his prime he beat better fighters than Chavez beat, Chavez also had great struggles with lesser fighters. I shudder to think what Leonard would do to Chavez. Duran has every physical advantage and is significantly better at everything, with a wider range of skills, the fight isn't close.

Leonard never dominated anyone the caliber of DLH.

Leonard beat fighters far superior to Delahoya. That's a hard, relevant, and indisputable fact.

A past prime Benitez comes closest. Duran was obviously past it as well, but Benitez was able to handcuff Duran quite a bit.
