Hypothetical Match-Up Game

Robinson · Post by **Robinson** » 06 Apr 2008, 05:49

Thats a good one :)

I think Holyfield wins..just. Dokes goes to the body less, but is much faster than his late 80s self. Everyone who see's the fight demands a rematch. A pick them fight, that see's Holyfield winning...but just.

Tommy Burns Vs Sam Langford both at there best, 15 rounds for Burn's title...lets say Langford goes for the title and comes up with the money instead of Johnson.

langford takes burns title with a 10th round ko. tommy fought well but sam simply knew too much. the tar baby was ahead on all cards at the conclusion.

roy jones jnr v tony galento

Robinson · Post by **Robinson** » 06 Apr 2008, 19:22

RJJ outpoints Galento, stays on his horse and gallops around him. Galento lands a nasty left or two to RJJ's body which makes Jones respect his power.

Ray Mercer vs George Chuvalo both is exceptional shape. 12 rounds.

I'll take Mercer by close decision --- bigger, stronger, & maybe a little faster overall. Neither man gives any quarter, & those at ringside are in awe at the damage that is doled out. Highlights included a crunching left hook to the body by Chuvalo at a time when Mercer was landing dozens of blows along the ropes, a point deduction in the 5th against Mercer, & referee Jay Nady's head exploding whilst attempting to separate the fighters for the umpteenth time. Result may've been different had it been fifteen rounds.

Benny Leonard vs. Pernell Whitaker for the Lightweight crown.

How cool a fightn would that be to watch :)

Ricky Hatton was ringside, & he didn't think flecks of Jay Nady's melon on his Blue Moon-emblazoned Supra shirt was very cool, Robinson. Shame on you.

Sweat Pean outpoints the clever Leonard in a far from crowd friendly peck a thon. Both men prove elusive, though the southpaw jab is sharp and able to land all to often on Leonard.

Scott LeDoux Vs Jeremy Williams 10 rounds of journeyman action.

And in honor of other BOTP threads --

Joe Choynski vs Doug Jones

Robinson · Post by **Robinson** » 08 Apr 2008, 06:03

Jones outpoints Choynski.

Ezzard Charles Vs Michael Moorer over 15 rounds.
At LHW and at HW dual predictions both at there best for each weight.

HomicideHenry · Post by **HomicideHenry** » 08 Apr 2008, 14:02

In either case Ezzard Charles dominates Moorer, though the Heavyweight Moorer lasts longer than the 175 pound incarnation, only for this reason: Moorer was very talented at 175 pounds, but he never stayed there long enough to really give any real great insight onto how he would have faired against the more elite men of that time...Charles-Moorer at 175, ends in a TKO in the 6th-8th rounds, while the heavyweight match goes into the 12th round, ending on a TKO, Charles ahead on all cards.

**********************************************************

Speaking of Michael Moorer, why not this hypothetical? Michael Moorer vs Roy Jones, Jr. at 175 pounds, 12 rounds

Jones wins by UD.

Rocky Graziano vs. Vinny Pazienza

12 rounds.
WBO Super Middleweight Title
Rocky weighs in at a fit and Very Ready 164 while Vinny Tips in at 165.
Rocky plans to go right at em.Same with Paz,but he also will use his Deceptively good footwork and elusiveness. 8)

HomicideHenry · Post by **HomicideHenry** » 08 Apr 2008, 14:20

That would have been a war...I just loved the Pazienza-Haugen fights, and I just love the Zale-Graziano brawls...I see this fight ending on a TKO in the 11th round, with Pazienza losing, though the score cards read dead even. The public demands a rematch!!! 8)

***********************************************************

Sonny Liston vs George Foreman, 10 rounds

Hypothetically speaking, this would be when George was Liston's sparring partner, and Liston had just yet to face Chuck Wepner; though the two in a sense were friends, and George would become a mirror image of Liston's scary demeanor, they ocassionally trash talked eachother with Foreman telling Liston 'You better not talk to me like that, if you seen what I did to that German [he was meaning the Russian he won the gold medal from], you wouldn't be talking to me like that."

Would have been interesting...

Robinson · Post by **Robinson** » 08 Apr 2008, 18:16

I agree....that would have bneen a pretty cool match.

I think Foreman's youth and pop sees him winning most of the rounds. Liston slows and is one or even two steps behind Foreman, Liston's jab thjat was so dominate years before struggles to really stay active enough to set the telling blows up.

Foreman wins the decision..any chance at stopping Liston leads to slight reluctance on Foreman's part.

Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Arturo Gatti at 130.

-12 rounds.
-no 3 knockdown rule.
-fighter can be saved at the bell if knocked down.
-50's style ref.(doesnt stop fights)

HomicideHenry · Post by **HomicideHenry** » 09 Apr 2008, 16:57

Thats the way boxing should have remained too!

@ the rules you supplied

Anyways, Barrera wins over Gatti. Gatti is game as hell, but he gets staggered and on his way down, cut up and swollen in the 10th round, after losing on the score cards, though the early rounds were thrilling, but at the pace it was going, there's no way in hell both could keep up, someone had to give in first, and it was Gatti. He had the heart, but not the tools to take Barrera in this one.

**********************************************************

Roberto Duran vs Marvelous Marvin Hagler 2

15 rounds

[dedicates this hypothetical to my father, who still to this day believes Duran was robbed against Hagler, despite my protests, lol]

frank bruno v floyd paterson

Robinson · Post by **Robinson** » 09 Apr 2008, 18:04

Ok...now I am going to say this....

Patterson is knocked down twice early in the fight. Bruno punishes Patterosn early on, forcing Floyd to use all of his resolve. From the 5th round on Patterson fights in spurts, that seem to catch Bruno on the inside.

Patterson builds up momentum as Bruno slows. Its a tough fight but Floyd though small and outweighed is in top form.

Patterson wins a close, and painfull split decision.
