    Boxing Utopia?

    What is your idea of boxing utopia? What would have to take place for the boxing world to be exactly as you would like it to be? Who would your favourite fighter beat? Which fighters would lose badly?

    Remember, reality is not a consideration!


    Mine is:


    Joe Calzaghe administers a Lacy style beatdown to Kelly Pavlik before KOing Roy Jones in 1. He follows this up with easy wins over Tarver and Dawson before late in his career moving up to heavyweight and flattening James Toney.

    Meanwhile Antonio Margarito KOs Cotto before annihilting Floyd Mayweather in 1.

    And finally, Amir Khan cleans out every lightweight including a moved up Pacquaio moves up to JWW and dominates there too. Down the line he meets Yuriorkis Gamboa in a battle to decide the P4P#1 in the world and defeats him easily.

    Nice.

    I would love to see someone being great and fighting everyone, multiple times.

    Like Toney, Hopkins, Jones having 5 fights series against each other. How would we regard Jones (or any of the above) if he went 4-1 with the others?

    Or Mayweather taking on all comers, see greatness while it happens in general.

    I understand Mayweather is making money, but the thought of what he could have done irritates me. It's not only his fault as it is modern boxing providing the wrong incentives to fighters (same for the
    above trio).

    EDIT: also Leonard with healthy eyes, and fighting timely rematches with Hearns and Duran, fight Pryor, Hagler earlier on.

    Robinson and Duran are the guys I can think of who got closer to that, but I was not born for one and too young for the other

    Also, had Arguello beat Pryor, it would have been like seeing the boxing god crowining an emperor IMO.
