assuming these are taking place in the prime of both fighters:
Dempsey by narrow decision, maybe KO.
Marciano by late KO or decision in a war.
Holmes by wide decision. I like Louis better and think hes the better fighter but Holmes had the wrong style for Louis, combine that with his size and its a rough night for Joe.
Sanchez-Pedroza, rough and tumble draw.
Spinks by a near shut-out. Not only is Braddock a very poor fighter despite the recent boom in his popularity but Spinks had a style that would have driven Braddock nuts.
Dempsey by narrow decision, maybe KO.
Marciano by late KO or decision in a war.
Holmes by wide decision. I like Louis better and think hes the better fighter but Holmes had the wrong style for Louis, combine that with his size and its a rough night for Joe.
Sanchez-Pedroza, rough and tumble draw.
Spinks by a near shut-out. Not only is Braddock a very poor fighter despite the recent boom in his popularity but Spinks had a style that would have driven Braddock nuts.
I agree with Dempsey by UD
The Rock by mid fight KO
I think this would be a cracker but IMO Louis wins close decision
We will never know how good Sanchez was but I believe he may have snatched a points victory from Pedroza
And Braddock to get hit with the Spinks Jinx. Saying that I'm not sure if Michael would have stopped him. Jim was durable enough to take the fight the distance

i appreciate it brockton..depends wat braddock fights... pre-broken hand..broken hand..or post broken hand.. i assume u mean post broken, were he hit his prime... at around 1935, befoe he got too old n worn down, ill take him over spinks. KO style baby..jim would wear him out n show him wat power was.

Ezzard vs Dempsey- Ezzard could posseess a lot of problems for him much like tunney did with him. dempsy got himself in trouble with boxers liek ezzard when he kept his hands low and swung punches to wide which he did sometimes. but dempsey in his prime was a fearlesss agressor with KO power who had fast hands and didnt give his opponents much roo. i se dempsey ctaching up to ezzard plus dempsey has close to as fast hands as charles. but if charles stays away and boxed and avoids any slug out, he can make this go the distance and has a shot at winning. Dempsey TKO 9
Marciano vs Lyle- Decent Slugger matchup, and marciano would wear lyle down who would probably try to use his jab more against marciano. i think lyle could drop the rock early if rocky starts slow and gets hit with a hard punch. i also see this can become a very good slugout with marciano waskcking away at lyles body,arms and head and lyle trying to get marciano off him to land that big shot. but i see marcian taking apart lyle and wearing him down in the mid to late rounds and i see marciano knocking out lyle with an overhand right in about the 10th round after lyle had been recieving a good amount of punishment the last couple rounds.
Marciano KO 10 but lyle defintely gives him a tough match and a good slugfest
HOlmes vs Louis- i think holmes could possess huge problems for louis but i think louiswould catch him cause a lot of fighters hrt holmes during his prime. holmes sometimes got lazy with his jab and left his defense open at times. holmes was defintely a sucker for a right and louis had one of the best. i see louis catching holmes and hurting him and knicking ihm down then stopping holmes on his feet. and louis uses his jab and counter punching to keep the fight close.
Joe Louis TKO 7
Salvador Sanchez close decision over pedroza- i think salvador has too many boxing skills for him, and all the dirty tactics in the world wont win it for pedroza. hell keep the fight close with his ring experience and power and skills but sanchez would beat him in my opinion. sanchez's greatest ability was his ability to adapt his technique and style to whatever was needed during the match. sanchez could also punch and would hurt pedroza and keep him at bay. sanchez wil coutner pucnh, jab and outsmart pedroza, and land some solid blows in as well.
