Hypothetical Match-Up Game

[observer1]

You are a deranged man

Foreman and Bowe take turns turning each other's face into hamburger meat for the full 12 rounds.
Bowe avoids the kill shot that Moorer could not, and secures the UD, 117-111 variety.

Antonio Tarver (right after the Jones KO) vs Joe Calzaghe (before the Lacy fight)

Tarver By Comfortable UD.

In my opinion, Tarver would knock down Calzaghe sometime in the early rounds. Tarver was very good at this stage, and imo, would beat any version of Calzaghe.

Wayne McCullough v Chris John, at Feathweight.

Prime v Prime

[Goodnight, Irene]

Calzaghe on a very close decision. He'd have to come on late, but activity sees him through. MD12, some dispute the call.

Pryor vs. Trinidad at 147 (Probably a long-shot, but if there's any 140lber in history mean & insane enough to get it done against Tito...)

Edit: I was beaten to it. McCullough by close decision over John.

[Marlin]

Pryor UD

De La Hoya v Duran

[Goodnight, Irene]

Pryor UD

De La Hoya v Duran

I'm not sure where you want them to meet, I'll assume the most likely spot is Welter? Hey, you know what? Oscar is just too nice a guy to win this fight, leaving aside for a moment Duran is plainly the superior talent. Duran would bully him badly, losing only two of the first three rounds, before winning every one thereafter, en route to a stoppage in eleven. De La Hoya doesn't come out for the final round.

Duran's next opponent will be no such sweetheart --- "The Toy Bulldog" Mickey Walker, meets Panama's favourite son, Roberto "Hands Of Stone" Duran. Fifteen rounds, for the World's Welterweight Championship. Jay Nady is the ref (he may faint at all the fouling D )

[allworld80]

Neither man's best weight class, but the hands of stone are hard to pick against here. Duran in
a razor thin SD.

Bizzare bout time

Dana Rosenblatt (1999) vs Librado Andrade (Current) at SMW

[Goodnight, Irene]

Interesting. I like Rosenblatt on a points decision. I've never been all that impressed wirth Andrade, myself *Shrugs*.

The battle for playground supremacy has never been so fierce...Meldrick "The Kid" Taylor vs. Antonio "Kid" Cervantes. Twelve rounds at 140lbs.

[harrygreb]

i thought there might be an upset on the cards for this one but taylor eventually dumps cervantes on his kid backside in the 12th for a count of 10.

just watched popeye destroy bluto with a mammoth right uppercut after the bearded cuban-cigar smokin' colossus looked to have him beat. you can watch this classic bout on the following link;

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBKzCn_X-Dw

but how would the "sailor man" fare against a modern great like dreadrick tatum? yes he would give away a few pounds to the fearsome guy who ended the career of springfield mauler, homer simpson, but i give him an outside chance...

[observer1]

Calzaghe on a very close decision. He'd have to come on late, but activity sees him through. MD12, some dispute the call.

Edit: I was beaten to it.

by 1.5 hours ? lol

[Goodnight, Irene]

I guess so

Tatum crushes the Sailor Man. Simpson had a granite jaw & was nearly floored with the first punch he threw. Pops ain't hard to find, & would have been KO'd in three.

Bert Cooper & Bobby Czyz at Cruiser...

[allworld80]

Czyz by a lopsided decision over the hapless Cooper.

Arthur Abraham vs Chris Eubank @ 160

[harrygreb]

eubank decisions abraham over the course of 12 rounds. no KD's. its close but clear.
looking for the scalp of a man in a heavier division and maybe a shot at dempsey, harry greb takes on "gorgeous" georges carpentier. both men in great condition - 15 rounds.

[Goodnight, Irene]

Carpentier doesn't come out for round twelve. He's down on all cards at the time --- 7-4, 8-3, 8-3. Greb simply has too much of everything for the gifted Carpentier to keep pace.

Speed meets power...Maxxy Baer (1933) & Floyd Patterson (1960) over fifteen rounds

Speed meets power...Maxxy Baer (1933) & Floyd Patterson (1960) over fifteen rounds

i have to take baer on this one i think eventually his power catches up with floyd and he lands a right hand or 2 baer KO8

kostya tszyu vs arguello(yes i know i spelt another name wrong) 12rds Super Lightweight

[Goodnight, Irene]

Good match (& you spelled all names right! LOL). I think Tszyu takes a split decision...or perhaps Arguello does. It'd be very narrow. Tszyu isn't in Arguello's (or the 1982 Pryor's) class, but the size difference is noteworthy, & Tszyu was a great, great fighter. His power & (underrated) sense of timing would take a toll on the hittable Arguello. No one was more precise than Arguello, though, & even at this weight, make no mistake --- he can hurt, possibly even floor, Tszyu.

I give up. This bout is a draw!

Two fellows with suspect chins, decent heart, questionable conditioning, & a strong punch...

1959 Ingemar Johansson vs. 1994 Michael Moorer over twelve rounds...

[allworld80]

The Swede comes off the deck twice to score the 8th round stoppage of Moorer, who is forced to endure
a fate worse than the KO afterwards, dinner at Teddy Atlas's house.

James Thunder vs Kallie Knoetze

10 Rounds

Tsyzu beat me to it with the Moorer/Ingo bout but i'll go ahead and pick it up from Lamotta/Cotto... :geek2:

At Welter...

I will go ahead and say Cotto by SD.

Cotto hits the deck in round 2 but finds the groove and momentum to slightly edge out a pre-prime LaMotta. 8)

Now,will someone at least give they're analysis to at least one of my Hypos...?!

[Goodnight, Irene]

Farr is too slick & crafty for Cooper, winning a somewhat wide decision.

Nielsen loses convincingly to Braddock. He's never in the fight. Speed kills.

Thunder KO's Knoetzee after struggling through the early rounds.

2002 Joel Casamayor & 2004 Marco Antonio Barrera at Jr. Lightweight, 12 rounds.

[harrygreb]

barrera coming off the ayala win beats an excellent casamayor who is in the fight to the last bell. a tough tough battle for marco. MD MAB

staying with the bantams; johnny clark, european champ from the walworth road dukes it out with IBF title holder kelvin seabrooks.

Seaboroks by narrow decision.


James Thunder vs Bert Cooper

&

Joe Calzahge vs Billy Conn

12 Rounds

[allworld80]

Conn is too big and strong for Calzaghe, and bullies him around the ring to a UD.

Terry Norris vs Michael Nunn at MW

[harrygreb]

norris takes his power with him to the middleweight division and earns a 3 round KO of michael nunn.

norris KO 3

(i have to say here and now, johnny clark would walk it against seabrooks. no question at all.)

frank tate v tiger flowers - super middleweight crown

[Goodnight, Irene]

Flowers on a close decision, for mine. Tate probably doesn't get his due, though, generally speaking. Cooper TKO's Thunder late, as well (For The Goon).

15 rounds of Basilio & Duran at Welterweight.

[allworld80]

A match made in heaven for fans, and again I'll take Roberto in a close, but clear battle.
