Best fantasy fight

Post by cosimo »

If you could see only one fight between two fighters in their prime from any era, which would it be?

I think Dempsey v Tyson would be pretty interesting

Armstrong-Duran would be difficult to top --- but so would a lot of fights.

Holyfield/Frazier is always my answer to this one.

Agree. That would be a hell of a fight.

But another part of me would like to have Frazier-Marciano just so some here who think it would be a 50/50 deal could find out otherwise.

Purely hypothetical, but if Marciano beat Frazier, or went all the way with him, losing in a great, see-saw battle, what do you think you would say in the aftermath? Just curious.

I'd have liked to see Ray Robinson v Charlie Burley, both in their primes.

The punch stats would have blown the computer; I'dve never thought about matching those 2 but what a bout it would have been. :box:

I'd want to see Greb against any of the great middleweights.

I'd also want to see Langford take on some of the 80s HWs who would outweigh him.
