Hypothetical Match-Up Game
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.

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.Robinson wrote: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.
Benny Leonard vs. Pernell Whitaker for the Lightweight crown.

Scott LeDoux Vs Jeremy Williams 10 rounds of journeyman action.
A Draw.In a second fight,Williams by SD.
Wilfredo Gomez vs. Junior Jones at 122.
12 rounds.

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

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...

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.

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]

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.
