Re: More Mythical Matchups
Holyfield was a monster at LHW. I think Haye does alright for himself for the first half but Holyfield eventually wearing him down and scoring a TKO.
I loved watching Hamed but don't see him fairing well against Pacquiao.. Too active and too much pressure leaving Hamed unable to unleash too much of his own offense.. Wide UD for Pacquiao.
Hearns would have been a nightmare for Floyd. I think Floyd handles both Duran and Leonard but I'm up in the air with Hearns.. I'd like to think Floyd could repeat what Benitez was able to doand a bit more, but it's a tough call.. I doubt Hurns blasts the elusive Floyd outta there with ease that's crazy talk but he would def. Pose Floyd some serious problems.. Hearns eeking out a SD.
Jones Jr. Beats anyone in history at MW or SMW in his prime. Wide UD for Roy.
This fight isn't going the distance.. McClellan comes out guns blazing against GGG and his speed proving to be too much for GGG.. McClellan KOs him in 2 before GGG even knows what hit him.
Duran in a great fight.. His swarming style would have won him most the exchanges.. Chavez had a great chin at 140 so he goes the distance but Duran would show to have too many tools and win in a tough fight but as the clear winner.
Kovalev is the bigger man.. Calzaghe wouldnt lay down but don't see him over coming the size difference.. Although I wouldn't put it past Calzaghe to dazzle Kova with his hand speed leaving him in the dust in a lot of exchanges.. I ough one to call but gotta go with Kova considering I've never seen Joe at LHW and Kova being the bigger man.
