      Armstrong vs. Mayweather, and the two Sugars: Under which era's rules? How many rounds?

      Otherwise: Duran stops Pacquaio late, or wins by UD

      Robinson vs. Leonard is a tossup in my mind. They need at least a trilogy.

      Hearns UD over Crawford.

      Chavez by late stoppage over Pryor.

        Thanks for the reply;
        For your question, let’s go with current rules and 12 rounds

                  That’s actually Vasyl Lomachenko; I looked them up just now to try to find a link to post for you, but I only found ones with a headband for sale. I got one a couple years ago from Amazon made by Lom Boxing, it’s a hat like the one in the picture. Not sure if they still make them or what, but you might try searching “Lom Boxing”

                  I think it’s usually referred to as a “boxing reflex hat” or similar variations — you might try “boxing tennis ball hat” etc...

                    found it on Amazon, although the first review says to go with Box a Ball. If I knew how this green k stuff work I'd send you some but I never bothered to learn how.
