Hypothetical Match-Up Game

[Robinson]

Ahhh you beat me to it :P

[HomicideHenry]

hell i'll do both hypotheticals...

Quarry wins on a 10th round TKO over Max Baer, due to busting Madcap Maxie's mouth open and the bleeding couldnt stop, though Quarry is busted up himself over both eyes.

Jesus Chavez knocks out Mitchell in the 12th

[allworld80]

Since I don't see one to pick, I'll give one.

JCC Jr. vs Fernando Vargas
light MW 12 Rds
Present day, not primes

[HomicideHenry]

Junior vs Vargas???...Vargas blows away Junior in six rounds


John Duddy, vs Sergio Mora, 10 rounds

[prettygoldenboy]

john duddy out hustles sergio mora to earn ud

julio cesar chavez vs robert hands of stone duran 135 15 rounds

[giacomino]

Chavez scores an early knockdown but Duran guts out a SD 143-141, 142-144 and 144-141

Pipino Cuevas vs Carlos Palomino, 1977

[allworld80]

Junior vs Vargas???:

It's a legit question. I also said as they are now, not in Vargas's prime. Vargas is 100% shot.

[HomicideHenry]

Pipino Cuevas vs Carlos Palomino, 1977

Damned good match-up here....Cuevas would more than likely win this shindig, but I'm partial to Palomino...I see Palomino winning the decision


Anyways.....Rocky Marciano, vs Bob Satterfield, 1956

[Robinson]

Marciano gets the nod, but is bloodied and breathing hard. Retirement talk is almost immediate.

Oscar Bonavena (1967) Vs Tony Tucker (1987) 12 rounds.

[HomicideHenry]

Bonavena all the way Ringo was never given his props, he was right up there as one of the great contenders who could have been a champion in any other era.


Gerry Cooney vs Gerrie Coetzee (WBA title); had Cooney opted to fight Coetzee rather than Holmes, 15 rounds

[giacomino]

Tough pick since Coetzee was so inconsistent. Could have been a Cooney 1st round blowout or Coetzee winning a beat-down in about the 12th round. I would go with the later.

Two Argentine greats
1995, Jorge Castro vs Julio Cesar Vasquez, catch-weight of 157 in Estadio Luna Park

[HomicideHenry]

Vasquez via decision....


Smokin' Joe Frazier, vs Muhammad Ali, circa 1980...

[Robinson]

D10

Both look terrible, Frazier has it with the power shots and pop. Ali looks the part, but has
timing issues. He can not find the range. Four looong years have changed alot.

Jimmy Young (1977) Vs Michael Spinks (1986) 15 rounds.

[My2Sense]

Jimmy Young (1977) Vs Michael Spinks (1986) 15 rounds.

I'm going to go with Young to outslick Spinks.

Young by close but clear UD.

My hypothetical: Billy Conn vs. Archie Moore

[Robinson]

Moore catches up with Conn, trapping him on the ropes early in the 12th round. Conn is in real danger.
He lasts the round, almost crashing to the canavs.

Moore manages to land a hard shattering cross and two left hooks that sends Conn down.

Conn was leading on two judges cards by two rounds. Though he is soundly counted out.

Moore KO 13.

Henry Cooper (1963) Vs Leon Spinks (1978) 12 rounds

[p4p1]

henry cooper has to much for the young spinks and ko's him in the late rounds with enry's ammer

jeff fenech vs alexis arguello at 126

[My2Sense]

jeff fenech vs alexis arguello at 126

Hmmmmm.... tough one.

I don't think Fenech at 126 had quite the firepower as he did at 118 and 122, IMHO.

I'll take Arguello by TKO in 14, after a terrific nip and tuck battle.


Michael Spinks vs. Bob Foster

[HomicideHenry]

Two legendary power hitters...unfortunately neither one had that power when they moved on up to heavyweight, unless the competition was weak and/or unranked (Spinks-Cooney for example)...but I've always been more partial to Bob Foster, he was the first man to cut Ali and hell he knocked out the legendary Dick Tiger...Spinks just out pointed an older Larry Holmes...I see Foster winning by kayo inbetween the 12th and 15th rounds...


Sugar Ray Leonard vs Joe Calzaghe, super middleweight, 12 rounds

[My2Sense]

Sugar Ray Leonard vs Joe Calzaghe, super middleweight, 12 rounds

Calzaghe has too much for the old, faded version of Leonard that was a supermiddle. Heck, Calzaghe might even be the faster man at this point.

Calzaghe punishes Leonard en route to a clear UD win.


A dream fight that could've happened but never did...

Matthew Saad Muhammad vs. Eddie Mustafa Muhammad II, unification fight.

What happens if the promoter doesn't mysteriously vanish?

[HomicideHenry]

I like Mustafa to win this one


Duane Bobick vs Tommy Morrison, 10 rounds

[allworld80]

I like Mustafa to win this one


Duane Bobick vs Tommy Morrison, 10 rounds

Bobick, TKO 3

Jhonny Gonzalez vs Louie Espinoza
15 RDS
Venue - a windowless factory in Tijuana

[Marlin]

Gonzalez TKO12 in a tough one

James Toney v Virgil Hill prime for prime at 175

[Seamus]

On his best night, Toney didn't like guys who could jab and use lateral movement. Virgil Hill by a close but clear decision

[Seamus]

Almost forgot

It's 1977 and it could have happened.
15 rds Rodrigo Valdez vs Marvin Hagler

[My2Sense]

Almost forgot

It's 1977 and it could have happened.
15 rds Rodrigo Valdez vs Marvin Hagler

Hagler would have to run and dance like hell, but he might just be able to do it.

I'll give Hagler the edge on a close decision.


Back to light-heavyweights...

Saad Muhammad vs. Victor Galindez. Another dream match that never happened.
