Hypothetical Match-Up Game

[AngryGoon38]

Bracero and Salita would be a great boxing match,classic chessmatch material. I've seen them both in action so i suggested the hypothetical and expected an immediete response since they've both gotten they're fair share of media exposure.

I would put my money on Salita at this point. More experience and still a year younger than Tito Bracero. Ny loves Bracero but he cant punch and he gets stunned easily,quite chinny but yeah,a gamer,very spirited,kept getting up in that brawl loss of his. I would pick Salita by a close but unanimous decision and he'd probably deck Bracero a couple or few times in the process. Bracero goes down easy but he has resiliance,alot of heart. Pretty interesting to watch,Salita as well. That Matisyahu guy is pretty cool too.

Next Hypothetical...


Oscar Bonevena vs Roy Jones Jr - 12 Rounds

Oscar Bonevena vs Roy Jones Jr - 12 Rounds

RJJ takes a wide points decision as he uses his superior athelticism, handspeed to mark up and cut Bonevena but is not able to put him away due to Bonevena's toughness.

Next up
Jose Napoles v Sugar Ray Leonard.

[Tomasino]

A fine match. In a fight of the decade type battle, I see Leonard, slightly faster, winning a split decision over 15 rounds in a fight that has everything. Leonard then avoids a rematch for 10 years.


Manny PacMan vs Nonito Donnaire at 122.

[big train express]

donaire would blast pac at 122. donare would be too skilled for manny at that weight considering that manny wasnt in his prime at 122.

Carlos Baldomir vs Ricky Hatton

donaire would blast pac at 122. donare would be too skilled for manny at that weight considering that manny wasnt in his prime at 122.

Carlos Baldomir vs Ricky Hatton

Hatton outboxes him ala jlc

Juan Manuel marquez vs Roberto duran

[MadMouse]

Marquez counters effectively and use speed advantage for first half of the fight but Duran eventually wears him down around tenth round and stops him.

Max Baer vs Sonny Liston in a 15 round war!

[Tomasino]

It's a war but doesn't go the 15 rounds. Liston by TKO9.


Barry McGuigan vs Scott Harrison

[m1kee50]

I reckon thats another war, both men IMO too tough and proud of that toughness to step back from what would be a great fight, as long as it wasn't outdoors. Over 12 or 15, to me it doesnt matter. McGuigan wins by 5 or 6 rounds, Harrison wins 3, 4 rounds by the halfway point, but McGuigan is IMO fit enough and just has the edge on skillset to take a decision or a weak stoppage in the last rounds.

Sakio Bika (2010, the Ward loss) vs Kelly Pavlik (2010, the Martinez loss)

[HomicideHenry]

Pavlik wins by the narrowest of margins in what is arguably the most dirty fight of the year....


Here's a Triple Header:

James J. Braddock vs. Tommy Burns, 12 rounds

Max Baer vs. George Foreman (1990s version), 10 rounds

Jack Johnson vs. Jack Dempsey, 15 rounds

[m1kee50]

bump.

i aint got a clue, but its a good thread

[Datsue]

Juan Diaz vs. Orzubek Nazarov (who was dirty by the way - rarely see his name get brought up) - 12 rounds - Lightweight

Nasty, nasty fight. Nazarov hit hard & was a skillful, if somewhat mechanical fighter. Diaz is quicker with a higher workrate, much looser, more natural-seeming sort of fighter & he grunted more. I think Diaz goes into a sort of hit & move groove & proves surprisingly effective at doing the in-out thing under the longer man's slashing punches. But then at some point I think it's bound to happen that Nazarov succeeds in chinning him with one of those big lefts. Let's say Diaz survives the rocky moments but is drawn into a war... & guts out a win, probably a 7-5/8-3-1-/8-4 decision.

Joichiro Tatsuyoshi (Singmanassak fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 6u_77LrI2g) vs Gaby Canizales (Sandoval fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixQvv2_VIxw), 12 rounds.

[MadMouse]

Canizales by ko late in the fourth round. Very exciting fight though.

Now for the triple header...

Sonny Liston (Patterson fights) vs George Foreman (First Frazier fight)

Roberto Duran (First Leonard fight) vs Julio Cesar Chavez (First Taylor fight)

Chris Eubank (First Benn fight) vs Tommy Hearns (Second Leonard fight)

[BoxBuzz]

Foreman Beats Liston does not go the distance
Duran Beats Chavez does not go the distance
Hearns beats Eubank decision


Leotis Martin vs a Post Liston Floyd Patterson

Patterson, SD

Reggie Johnson vs Mike McCallum - 12 rounds - @ 160 - both early '90's versions of themselves

[Datsue]

Reggie Johnson vs Mike McCallum - 12 rounds - @ 160 - both early '90's versions of themselves

I have no idea who would win, but fvck me man the feints would make me come.

Can't split them. I'm too big a fan of both. Christ.

Okay, gun to head... Reggie, bitterly contested split decision, his harder punching shades it in rounds that are razor-close. Could stand to see a trilogy. Quadrilogy. Whatever. Every three months until they're in wheelchairs.

Christ. I'm gonna have to calm down from fapping after that, so we'll go from the sublime to the ridiculous...

Tomasz Adamek (Cunningham I vintage) vs Vassily Jirov (uh, Toney fight?), 12 rounds.

Oof tough one here

I'm going to go with a Jirov MD where both fighter's faces are a bloody mess.

Emanuel Augustus vs Carlos Maussa (140)

[No Tomorrow]

Augustus via UD

Terry Norris vs Davey Moore - 12 rounds - @154

[BoxBuzz]

I'm leanin toward Norris in a UD...but a KO is not out of the question. Don't think Moore is going to be able to pull out a win here.

James Toney (The shortest HW reign in history (Holyfields/Ruiz era) Vs Gregoria Peralta...another smallish but quick HW who could befuddle the big punchers.

[No Tomorrow]

Toney UD

Shane Mosley vs Julio Cesar Chavez - @ 135 - 12 rounds
