      prime for prime they would be good fights, all of them close, but imo, after about 4 rounds with Benn (assuming he makes it that far and his chin is sturdy enough to) he takes over and gets a ud. Probably get of the floor to do it.
      Against a prime Eubank i really have no clue how it woud go.Chris was such an awkward fighter and at times i think he'd make Joe look silly, but over the course of 12 Joe should be able to figure it out and get the nod in a close UD. Could go either way though (and Chris had a habbit of getting the benefit of the doubt in close fights from judges!)

        Roy at 175, Bernard at 160, Joe at 168, Floyd at 130, Ivan at 105

        There have been some great fighters this generation in fact the 3 most talented fighters i've ever seen have been in the past 20 years, an opinion which probably seems ****** to many

          I think the Roy that beat Toney would have beaten any version of Calzaghe

            prime for prime i'd give roy the nod too. good fight though. I think it would be a lot closer than most do though. But i am a Joe fan.

              no 1 fighter is ever unbeatable but a prime RJJ and a prime Eubank was as close as it gets!

                Roy had the ability to beat any fighter from 160-175 in history. Not saying he would beat them all, but I think its fair to say its possible.

                    I don't think there is anyone ever that was so good there is no fighter you wouldn't consider beating them. Everyone except Marciano and Mayweather Jr. lost, and those two were/are undefeated because of the competition.

                      No fighter in the history of boxing could beat Floyd from 130 to 140
