If you could create a 4 fight card and the whole world would watch...

[size15shoe]

If CBS called you up and said "Make me a boxing card with 4 fights that the whole world is going to watch" to help put boxing back on the map as a powerhouse sport again." And they asked for 4 kinds of fights.

1. 2 top fighters going at.
2. An exciting all out brawl. A
3. fight to showcase the great sweet science of the sport at it's finest.
4. And a fight that if you could bring 2 legends back from any point in time to scrap it out.

You can put them in any order for your main event. What would your card be?

Mine pretty much goes by excitement because thats what most of the fans like me want...

Main Event:
Arturo Gatti vs Diego Corrales
-I am convinced this would be the greatest all out action brawl OF ALL TIME.

Gamboa vs JuanMa. Lopez(
-2 top guys going at it in their weight class)

Floyd Mayweather vs. Sergio Martinez at 154
-to showcase the sweet science

And to kick off the show with a ****A!!!
Brandon Rios vs. Michael Katsiditis

1. 2 top fighters going at.

Pacman vs Mayweather



2. An exciting all out brawl.

Paul Williams vs Jermain Taylor. Both fighters have weaknesses that can be exploited. I think it will be a better fight that Williams-Martinez, and thats saying alot..


3. A fight to showcase the great sweet science of the sport at it's finest.

Chad Dawson vs. Andre Dirrell ( the matchup from a speed/power/chin aspect is intriguing to me for some reason) . Both are pretty fundamentally sound for the most part, and it has potential to have fireworks if they engage early.

4. And a fight that if you could bring 2 legends back from any point in time to scrap it out.


Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whittaker vs. Willie Pep. Two of the better, slick-style fighters in their respective divisions.

First of all I would like to say, this is a brilliant idea for a thread and glad you posted it.


ok onto my card

Main Event- Pac vs Floyd - the world clearly wants to see this fight, it would be labelled P4P king.

Legends fight- Ali vs Tyson

Fight to showcase the sweet science- roy jones jr. vs David Haye

The first fight-all out brawl- ortiz vs maidana 2

You've never seen Haye fight, have you?


Curtain jerker- Thomas Hearns vs Julian Jackson. Guaranteed to be bombs away and probably a short, but brutal war.

2nd- Sweet Pea vs Naseem Hamed. 2 original and contrasting styles.. would lead to an interesting fight.

3rd- Lennox Lewis vs Larry Holmes. 2 highly skilled, mobile HW's that could **** a bit too.

4th- Sugar Ray vs Sugar Ray. Nuff said.

What weight would you have Whittaker/Hamed at? Would be an interesting matchup but I couldn't see Hamed being as effective at 135..

It's a little silly to give us restrictions but I'll play along.

Brandon Rios vs Lucas Matthysse = brawl.

Juan Manuel Marquez vs Miguel Acosta = sweet science fight.

Aaron Pryor vs Felix Trinidad = legend fight.

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather = what we all want.

But without restriction...

Pacquiao/Mayweather is still main event. Undercard is...

Brandon Rios vs Juan Manuel Marquez
Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Jhonny Gonzalez (sorry Juanma)
Alfredo Angulo vs Miguel Cotto

[STRUGG]

Prime ALI vs Prime Tyson.........
Prime Tito vs Prime Hearns (welterweight).........
Prime Duran vs Prime JCC (light weight)...........
Prime aaron pryor vs Prime PAC (LWW)....................

I couldn't decide on a weight that was fair to both of them. 130 is too low for Sweet Pea and like you say, 135 is too much for Hamed to remain effective as he never fought higher than 126. It's just one of those fights I'd have love to seen because of how unusual each fighters style was.

2 top guys - Chavez Jr vs Canelo(who cares about Pacquiao and Floyd)

Brawl - Rios vs Bradley

Sweet Science - Andre Ward vs Chad Dawson

Historical fight - prime Naseem Hamed vs a mid 2000s Pacquiao
