If you had a time machine....

If you had a time machine what fighter would you want to go and watch fight in their prime and why?

For me it would have to be Robert Duran as a lightweight. He is considered the best ever lightweight of all time and universally top 10 maybe top 5 fighter of all time. But for me Duran at lightweight was just a total machine. There is no man at lightweight in any era who could beat him. He was fast and had all time great skills and the tenacity he had was unmatched. It would be a dream to go back and watch him perform at his ultimate best at lightweight.

I'd go to ancient Rome in it's prime, watch some gladiator *****. Real warriors who fought to do the death. And I'd pay front row to watch a comedy show of christians being fed to lions. Must have been a laugh riot!

Ray Robinson because there is a lack of footage of him at his best especially as a welterweight. Also Greb.

But he lost to De Jesus lol.... Duran was great but I don't buy into that talk of him being unbeatable at lightweight.

Yea you are right de Jesus did get him. Duran is just a man and he did lose. But he avenged that loss like a true all time great and knocked out de Jesus twice in rematches.

Duran is a good shout but id go way way back to the early days and see the fighters of old and take a fighter with me to see how those guys would match up with the styles of today
