Hypothetical Match-Up Game

[alexpaterson]

RJJ has far to much skill and boxes Benn's head off for 12 rounds for me nobody at his weight could beat RJJ in 1995 IMO wide UD decision

Ricky Hatton vs Meldrick Taylor Prime for Prime 12 rounds LWW

[yiddle]

not even close taylor always in control hatton keeps going but is a bloody mess and is rescued by the ref sometime after round 9




tony tubbs vs david haye



bobby chacon vs prince hamed (feather)

[observer1]

not even close taylor always in control hatton keeps going but is a bloody mess and is rescued by the ref sometime after round 9




tony tubbs vs david haye



bobby chacon vs prince hamed (feather)

Tubbs would be able to eek out a close UD imo, but probably being knocked down along the way.

Naz would probably be able take an easy UD imo.

Lazcano v Amir Khan - LWW, Now

[hitman09]

Lazcano Ko8 while well down on the cards.

Nikolay Valuev vs Primo Carnera 15 rds HW

[yiddle]

valuev has enough to win a ud in dull fight ,no one hits the deck as although both huge men neither can really punch.






michael katsidis vs beau jack (15 round lightweight fight and weigh-in on the day of the fight)



thomas hearns vs carlos monzon (middleweight)

[BoxBuzz]

valuev has enough to win a ud in dull fight ,no one hits the deck as although both huge men neither can really punch.






michael katsidis vs beau jack (15 round lightweight fight and weigh-in on the day of the fight)



thomas hearns vs carlos monzon (middleweight)

What Monzon would do to Tommy would turn Barkley green with envy. One sided affair though Thomas is able to take Carlos off his feet in round 3. But Monzon the Machine does not get flustered, takes Tommy to the deep waters of round 10 and sinks him.

Riddick Bowe vs Oliver McCall. McCall coming off his win over Lewis.

[Costa Rico]

McCall claims he is fired up, but really, is looking ahead to Lewis-McCall II

Bowe, as always, is a bit chubby, but is skillful and big punching, outslicking McCall and stinging him with hooks, nearly knocking him over in the 9th, but McCall was more off balance, before taking a 120-108 UD

Ola Afolabi vs Nickolai Valuev

Kelvin Davis vs Cliff Couser (In a clash of journeyman Tyson lookalikes)

[allworld80]

Valuev grunts, holds, and uglies up a UD.

Concrete Davis puts Couser to sleep in the 4th.

Shannon Briggs vs Tim Witherspoon over 12 rounds

[Costa Rico]

Briggs loses technique against Witherspoon, who keeps composure, and takes some huge shots in the 12th, to seal a SD

Joe Louis vs David Haye

Archie Moore vs Zora Folley

[hitman09]

Briggs loses technique against Witherspoon, who keeps composure, and takes some huge shots in the 12th, to seal a SD

Joe Louis vs David Haye

Archie Moore vs Zora Folley

Louis KO 4 in a one sided beating.

Folley KO13 in a close one, with Folley being knocked down twice in round 8, but overpowering the smaller Moore down the stretch.

Jose Napoles vs Floyd Mayweather Jr 12 rds WW
Lloyd Honeyghan vs Miguel Cotto 12 rds WW

[harrygreb]

the peak napoles busts floyd up in the later rounds for a good stoppage.

napoles TKO 10

lloyd gets stuck into cotto from the off but fails to dent him enough to win. miguel comes back into the fight in the 5th and backs honeyghan up - it turns into an all time war, a boxing blitzkreig. both men are close to exhaustion in the 12th but cotto is the stronger and lloyd goes down twice before the ref calls it a day for him. great fight.

cotto TKO 12

dick tiger v roy jones - light heavyweight clash

[bjermaine]

jones too big and fast. imo jones would win a clear decision against a tough tiger.

arturo gatti vs barry mcguigan at 130.

[allworld80]

Mcguigan in an pugilistic assault on the senses. Brutal affair that sees the winner having tasted the canvas twice.

Ezzard Charles, fresh off his 1951 title fight with Joey Maxim, seeks a new opponent as Jersey Joe pulls out lame.

In steps a confident, 1980 version of Gerry Cooney...

[harrygreb]

cooney is not so confident after having his ears boxed off for 10 rounds and is clearly becoming disheartened. the 11th sees more loss of interest from gerry and charles takes him out after 2 minutes of thoughtful butchery.

charles KO 11

lets pit dick tiger against another seriously good brit of african origin, john conteh.

DICK TIGER V JOHN CONTEH - BOTH MEN AT THEIR EXCELLENT BEST FOR THE WORLD LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE

[BoxBuzz]

Dick Tiger and John Conteh fight to a controversial draw. No one films the fight and it was not televised, so everyone is left wonder what the hell happened that night. Folks who were actually in the audience become folk heroes as they each tell how their man controlled the action and deserved the decision.

Staying with Light Heavys, Fabrice Tiozzo vs Leo Lomski Pinnacle of their respective careers.

[harrygreb]

i wont reply to the match up but a friend of mine was at the TIGER - CONTEH bout and he filmed it! he says it was a real all time cracker and swung either way right through the contest. he is offering DVD copies of the fight at £250 a pop. (cash only, please, to be sent to Mr H Greb plaistow east london).

FABRICE TIOZZO V LEO LOMSKY - LIGHT HEAVY DUST UP

"Rumors" of films/videos of the Conteh-Tiger fight have surfaced for years but NO ONE has produced the goods.....probably just some fight fans attempting to stir up some attention for themselves.


FABRICE TIOZZO V LEO LOMSKY - LIGHT HEAVY DUST UP Each at prime.....

[Costa Rico]

Tiozzo jabs with Lomsky, and it get's boring

Tiozzo then, after Lomsky overreaches, lands a short left hook to spark Lomsky

Roberto Duran, fresh off his slaughter of Ken Buchanan, is looking for his first defence

In steps a prime defensive wizard in Steve Johnstone

[harrygreb]

hold on a second...SLAUGHTER? BUCHANAN? sorry my friend, roberto duran never ever slaughtered ken buchanan. did you see the fight? or did you just dream it up? only in the "hypo match up game" could such a thing happen and it is just as likely on this thread that the scot could box robbo's ears off to such a degree that the ref calls a halt to proceedings. buchanan was one of durans best opponents - who says? Mr R Duran thats who.

steve johnstone starts off well enough but is unravelled by durans relentless attacks come the 6th round. steve is dropped just once and decides to sit it out for the 10 count.

DURAN KO 6

two duran victims - one hypo, one real - duke it out...

KEN BUCHANAN V STEVE JOHNSTONE

[BoxBuzz]

Determined to give BOTP's contributor HarryGreb's words meaning, Buchannan comes in firing on all cylinders. HOwever surprisingly it turns into a bit of a chess match for the first 4 rounds when Steve decides that he's ready to take it up a notch. Which is exactly what Ken was hoping for and puts Steve down for the first time in the 5th. Steve gets the message and attempts to operate defensively but Ken is having none of it and takes every round into the 10th where Steves' crew tell the Ref that it's all over, and it's Miller time for Ken.

Mike McCallum vs Joe Calzaghe at Super Middle. McCallum somehow finds the courage to "step up" a weight class to face the monster that is Calzaghe.

Calzaghe wins a close UD based on activity. McCallum cries that he was ducked by Robinson from the womb.

Mormeck vs a clean Bert Cooper, say from the tillman fight.

[Costa Rico]

BUCHANAN? sorry my friend, roberto duran never ever slaughtered ken buchanan. did you see the fight? or did you just dream it up? only in the "hypo match up game" could such a thing happen and it is just as likely on this thread that the scot could box robbo's ears off to such a degree that the ref calls a halt to proceedings. buchanan was one of durans best opponents - who says?

KEN BUCHANAN V STEVE JOHNSTONE

Did YOU see the fight

The only round in which Buchanan offered ANYTHING resembling offence, was the round in hwihc he was low-blowed

The young Duran outjabbed, outfought and outsmarted Buchanan all night long

Anyway, Mormech is way too muscled and slow, ad is just plain average against Cooper who, not exactly Ali himself in terms of speed, outboxed him and a devestating right hand in the 7th puts Mormech down

Amir Khan, fresh off his win over Marco Antonio Barrera, has one final fight at 135, against Stevie Johnstone, the night that he outclassed big-punching Colombian Dairo Esalas

[SaadOffTheDeck]

LOL at all this Johnstone business. Is that a running joke around here?

[Costa Rico]

Nah

One fighter will spring into our minds and then we'll just use them until theres no more good macth-ups

It happened with Ezzard Charles too

[SaadOffTheDeck]

I meant calling him Johnstone. I've seen Johnson a ton of times. This is the first Johnstone for me, not busting balls, I really got a kick out of it.
