how would these proposed match ups have gone ?

[JuicyJuice]

Jones would beat Douglas if he comes around 195-210

Nah, he'd be much slower if weighed some **** like that back in the mid-90's.

Your Fooling Yourself If You Think Benn Would Of Stopped Jeff Harding, Jeff Harding Was One Of The Toughest Men To Ever Lace Them Up-even Tougher Than Jeff Fenech. Look What Happened To Benn When He Landed His Bombs On Collins Only To See That Collins Wasn't Going Anywhere-benn Caved In Ala Tyson.

How the **** do you beat a prime Benn if your that hittable? He'd of ****ed Harding up, hurt him bad.

And Benn Struggled Like Hell To Stop The Lightheavies He Fought Such As Morgan, Piper, Galvano. Benn Was Only A Small Middle, He Could Even Be Called A 'blown Up' Supermiddle Because He Only Moved Up In The First Place In Search Of A Rematch With Eubanks.

You do actually make good points here!

[JuicyJuice]

did'nt rod douglas beat benn the year previous though ?

Yes, but Benn was inexperienced then and over-confident. The rematch was an absolute barn-burner, with Benn coming out on top.

Roy would of beaten Buster Douglas by stoppage, too much 'zilch' in his punches that a heavyweight would be alien too....

[MiamiVice]

I dont know about the others, i know about McCallum because he was supposed to be a great bodypuncher, Benn because of McClennan fight, never heard of the rest.

lindell holmes was a very good, underappreciated fighter. so good infact that james toney and roy jones jr. worked as his sparring parners. but nunn was different class back then, if he was 'on'.

benn could be either slugger, swarmer or box-hitter, and was a tremendous body puncher. i really think he absolutely definately would of found a way to beat the limited, one dimensional harding.

mike would of outboxed and stopped tommy in the mid to late rounds, quite honestly mike was an absolute master of the art. some of mike's tools, such as left hook-duck or duck-left hook (or left hook-duck-left hook, or duck-left hook-duck), double up, switching upstairs to downstairs, body shot counters etc were some of the best we have ever seen and tommy relied more on youth, hunger and physical gifts. and tommy was fragile.

buster would of knocked roy out. though roy would be praised for having the guts to share a ring with a big heavy.

lol, hopkins proved lastnight that a middle can move up & beat a lightheavy- may of proved me wring lol

The main feature of McCallum's game in the late 80's and early 90's was pacing himself - for a reason! In his early to mid 30's, his legs were going. If Hearns took three steps back, for example, McCallum would have to take six steps forward. This would tire Mike enough after eight or nine rounds for Hearns to find him and get him out of there.
