For me it's an issue of seeing all the classics that were never recorded or the footage was lost.
Zale, Fullmer, prime Ray Robinson, Graziano, Basilio, LaMotta, Ike Williams, DeMarco, Gavalin, Cerdan, Saxton...so many classics between those guys. Hell, even guys like Lee Jenkins, Bono Olson, Chuck Davey.
Too many fights that combined blood and guts with elite skills in some way to pick another era.
I'd stick GGG in it and take him back to Hagler Hearns Leonard,Duran era.
This is the correct use of a time machine for a boxing fan, bringing us those mythical matchups.
Prime Tyson V Ali
Ali V Joshua, just to see....
And so on
You raise a good point about taking two fighters from different eras and taking them to a neutral decade. That's the time machine put to good use right there.
Michael Spinks vs. Ezzard Charles
Wlad Klitschko vs. Sonny Liston
Sandy Sadler vs. Erik Morales
**** Tiger vs. Marvin Hagler
Parnell Whittaker vs. Money Mayweather
Lee Jenkins vs. Diego Corrales
Gatti vs. Boom Boom Mancini for pure bloody entertainment.
