Dream Prizefighter tournaments from yesteryear

[el_grande_mauro_mina]

I have thought up of a light heavyweight torunament of 1980's light heavyweights and I guarantee - there would have
been sparks flying - just imagine this 1989 light heavyweight prizefighter - live on ITV!

Blaine Logsdon
Jose Seys
Tony Wilson
Tom Collins
John Moody
Crawford Ashley
Branko Pavlovic (if you remember him!)
Brian Schumacer

Now THAT would have been a prizefighter worth tuning in to.

Hmm - Dave Green had retired by then had John H.Stracey and Clinton McKenzie, Chris Sanigar and Tony Laing were light welterweights (would have been interesting for Tony and Kirkland who were brothers if they had been matched though)


If I was to do a 80s welterweight prizefighter - it would have

Cliff Gilpin
Kostas Petrou
Rocky Kelly
Dave McCabe
Kelvin Mortimer

Mind has frozen for a bit!

early part of noughties welters limit of 10 stone 10

Jawaid Khaliq
James Hare
Neil Sinclair
Harry Dhami
Tony Doherty
David Barnes
Steve Roberts (could make welter)
Eamonn Magee

Back up could be A prospect called Mathew Hatton

Which ones on the list would be easy fights Funso?

[funso banjo baby]

Neville Meade circa 1980 would have been a tough one.

[lukep]

David would of KO'd anyone in 1983 he looked explosive!!

I do agree he was a Cruiserweight and would have been a massive star today in that division

[Crease]

I'd be plucking fighters from around 1996:

Mike Tyson
Tommy Morrison
David Tua
Herbie Hide
Michael Moorer
Ray Mercer
Hasim Rahman
John Ruiz

Think it would be an entertaining night of boxing...

[Sklar]

Circa 1996 Lightweights

Michael Ayers
Wayne Rigby
Colin Dunne
Billy Schwer
Paul Burke
Jon Thaxton
Charles Shepherd (human windmill over three rounds)
David Tetteh
