I'm assuming you intend to put 2 guys against each other from any era in Dream match scenarios so I'll name a few

Featherweight: Bobby Chacon vs Erik Morales
Light Heavyweight: Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Tomasz Adamek
Heavyweight: Joe Frazier vs Jack Dempsey
Flyweight: Roman Gonzalez vs Michael Carbajal

If you mean fighters who are active today I'll give some different options later.

yes... I actually changed my original to mayorga/Maidana as I think Tito would do to Maidana what he did to Mayorga. Mayorga/Maidana is a pretty even match.

Yeah Mayorga vs Maidana would be wild for sure, and yeah I agree it's a better matchup than Tito vs Maidana. Maidana would've been outgunned against Tito.

Fights that would make the best possible matchups:

Heavyweight.... Anthony Joshua vs Luis Ortiz

Light Heavyweight... Artur Beterbiev vs Sergei Kovalev

Middleweight... Gennady Golovkin vs Chris Eubank

Welterweight... Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman

Lightweight... Robert Easter vs Mikey Garcia

Super Featherweight... Vasyl Lomachenko vs Francisco Vargas

Featherweight... Gary Russell vs Leo Santa Cruz ... Russell would knock Santa out quickly but it would be all action.

Duran vs Valero would've been a one sided slaughter. Duran would've eaten Valero alive and made him look like nothing. I don't understand why anybody rates Valero highly.

He would've been exposed soon enough if he hadn't offed himself. Talks were going on between him and Juan Manuel Marquez. Marquez would've owned him.
