    If you can pick one boxer during his prime to be around today who will it be?

    I will definitely pick a Prime Lennox Lewis to be in the HW Division today. Will love to see him KO1 every single opposition up to the K Bros and be in great trilogies against them. Not only that, English sports fans are by far the best and most passionate in the world. I felt like they really didn't do Lennox justice the first time around because there were guys like Bruno Benn Eubank etc to cheer for. so a prime Lennox nowadays with literally nobody else to cheer for, would have been madness. Probably sell out wembley easily.

    Although I will also love to have a prime Tommy Hearns to be at WW today just to see him put Floyd and Manny in hospitals.

    Prime Roy Jones Jr in the super six tournament will be pretty funny as well.

      Im pretty much the only one who ever says this but I loved the young Lennox way more. That dude was a killer and mad exciting. The older probably was harder to beat because he was more cautious but Id much rather watch the younger one and I think head to head, the younger version of Lennox beats the older version

          A prime Lewis would be great to see again, the only problem is he would beat all the others in the division including the Klitschko brothers so easily that once once he has cleaned out the entire division it would be even more boring than it is now. A prime Lennox Lewis is a totally different level than anybody around today so it would be like putting an F1 in a stock car race.

          I would love to see Hearn's again as well, he would leave a serious trail of destruction if pitted against todays top fighters.

                  Any great welterweight. From the lowest like Tito & Oscar to top tier like SRL & the Hittman. Because I'm almost sure there are to superstar divas that would have never ventured there.

                    so what does that mean? Also, that might be true for SRL & Hearns but I dont think Floyd would fear Oscar or Tito
