    Don't see the man in your avi beating Graham in the early 80's.. I know an argument can be made that Herol hadn't fought at world level by then. But he was beating the best UK and Commonwealth fighters with such incredible ease, and styleswise, I still believe Graham would've had his number in 81
    Can't fault any of your other choices though.. Nice to see a post from someone who knows his little men.. Great to see names like Espadas, Mercedes and Magri..

    Kalule's an underrated fighter 4 sure, smart boxer and heavy handed with it. But he wasn't great defensively, and imo, Graham was a better fighter at 154 than he was at 160

      Cotto v Mayweather, same result but a far more competitive bout

      RJJ V Tarver comes to mind

      Lewis v Holyfield

      Barrera v JMM

            Charles/Louis
            Though Ezzard is one of the best Joe's ever faced, it would be turned in Joe's favor.
            Dempsey/Tunney
            Holmes/Holyfield
            Foreman/Holyfield
            Foreman/Moorer
            (I'd give Michael 5 rounds tops, not a bad fighter but George isn't someone he can take)

              That would have been an awesome fight had both met in primes

                Unfortunate that only Walcott got to face prime Louis. Moore would've also been great.

                  Joe Louis vs Rocky Marciano would be a whole lot different result in my opinion, as would Ricky Hatton vs Kostya Tszyu.

                  There are tons and tons of fights that would have played out different but the result would be the same, but the first that comes to mind is the Louis/Marciano for me

                    With the state the heavyweight division is in today I wish James Toney was 5 years younger so at least we could have some all time great give the Klitschko's a run for there money (the opposition out there is embarrassing for the sport of boxing as a whole). For other fights I would have liked to see De la hoya and Mayweather if that could have happened earlier. Cotto and mayweather also. When the pacquiao and mayweather fight finally happens I would have wanted that to be 5 years prior. Roy Jones and James Toney would have been better if it was at a point where Toney was in better shape. Last Sugar ray leonard and Hagler.
