*Note: This tpoic has been done before but, what the hell?*

If you could choose 10 fights (yep, 10 those specatators are spoilt) which 10 fights would you like to see?

It can be any boxer from any time fighting each other, but try and keep the fights competitive.

oh, and do state what weight you want the fight held at.

Crease, regarding the Caucasian Clash...

A mate of mine claims that Dempsey's folks played down the native American indian side of the family due to the way it was viewed at the time. He also thinks that by today's standards of defining race in the USA he probably wouldn't be categorised as caucasian. My mate's the reliable sort. He could be wrong but annoyingly he's usually not.

I'd like to see them take a punch from Tyson. They'd probably stop Tyson middle rounds

Yes,I made the same mistake. Gatti is gonna be f**ked

gilgamesh · Post by **gilgamesh** » 24 Sep 2010, 12:33

I did say arguably. But for the record, I think David Tua would either KO Golota or frustrate him into DQ'ing himself. I don't doubt there is another case for " Uncrowned Champion" contender's in the Heavyweight division, but Golota considering all of his faults, I don't think is it.

IRLangmaid25 · Post by **IRLangmaid25** » 27 Sep 2010, 13:14

My final two on the bill

Kronk Kollision
Lennox Lewis v Wladimir K

and finally
Sugar Ray Leonard v Sugar Shane Mosley 12 Rounds Welterweight

Well, I'm not trying to be funny here, BUT in every photo and fight that I've seen of Jack Dempsey, I would safely say that he is a white man.

Do you not think so?

Yep. By singing to him. And "Iron Mike" committs suicide in the mid-rounds.

Marvin Hagler vs Carlos Monzon

Floyd Mayweather JR vs Pernell Whitaker @ Light Weight

Joe Louis vs Muhammad Ali

Roberto Duran vs Manny Pacquiao @ light weight

Joe Frazier vs Mike Tyson

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Ray Leonard @ welter weight (Just to see Leonard get outclassed)

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Tommy Hearns @ welter weight

Manny Pacquiao vs Julio Caser Chavez @ light welter weight

Marvin Hagler vs Bernard Hopkins @ middle weight

Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Manny Pacquiao @ welter weight

P.S.

I too made the same mistake of many, I didn't realize these bouts were to potentially take place on the same night.

I wouldn't put it past Sugar Ray Robinson to win both of his fights in a night however.
