      Nunn vs Kessler [?!?!?!]

      Wright vs Duran [This would have to be at like 154-160, and as good as Duran was, Wright is much bigger and better at the weight. They would be good fights though]

          Hagler by late KO
          Hopkins might win Leonard at middleweight,u never know tho,Leonard always found a way
          Hearns would kill Taylor
          Wright vs Duran,hmmm,very close,i go with Duran UD,Duran would be all over him like a pitbull,i dont think winky would be able 2 deal with that sorta pressure

                Let's say....

                Hagler vs CalzagheCalzaghe would outwork him the way Leonard did.

                Hopkins vs Leonard This is tough, since Hopkins is a physically bigger guy with a tight D, but I think Leonard would be too smart and too active to lose to Hopkins.

                Hearns vs TaylorAnother tough one, but I'd say Hearns by close decision. Hearns at 160 still had his laser right hand, and Taylor can be hit, especially late. Gut says Hearns would win, as much as I respect Taylor. Bad matchup for him.

                Nunn vs KesslerTough to say. Kessler has looked good, but hasn't faced anyone as slick and complete as Nunn. So gotta say Nunn, at this point.

                Wright vs Duran Winky wins, as bad as I hate to say it. With booing all through the arena, as hardly anything lands clean from Duran, just rallies that hit the arms and gloves of Winky as he's covering up and the crowd is cheering. And Duran's face would look at the end of the fight exactly as it did at the start. He'd lose a UD to arm punches and jabs.
