Do you really want Aaron beaten down beyond recognition? Would be considered cruel and unusual punishment in most civilized society.

Lennox Lewis vs Floyd Mayweather

Almost as bad a beatdown as Aaron would recieve. Cruel cruel cruel.

JOE LOUS VS MUHAMMAD ALI.... i do not beleive it would be the best fight to ever watch but i would love to see who was truly the best

JOE FRAZIER VS MIKE TYSON.... could see this really being a brawlo with neither man taking a backward step (though he did later in his career a prime tyson never did)

Fukking spelling police wankers

Duran vs Robinson For the title of the best fighter of all-time at 147lbs

Ali Vs Lennox
Tyson Vs Foreman

sockdolangers post is the greatest card of all time. what a night to be ringside

ONE FIGHT?

Well there's only one coming to mind...

ROCKY MARCIANO vs Mohammed Ali

(prime VS prime)

it would be MIND-BLOWER!!!!

George Foreman vs. Earnie Shavers

I don't know how true it is, but I've been told Foreman avoided Shavers during his rise to the top. Then, of course, by the time Jimmy Young sent Foreman into retirement, it was too late for any chance to ever see this fight.

for the sake of what we 'now' know re: Charley Burley, then it would have to be Burley v. Robinson - to settle the mind.

for the 'ultimate' prize the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World it would have typically been Ali v. Louis, but Tyson v. Louis is just as appetizing

for the sake of 'justice' and amends; Bert Gilroy v. Tony Zale - World's middleweight title 1941/42 when it would have happened had not "politics & protection" stole a mans legacy!

Today I'll say Liston vs Foreman. Tomorrow, Duran against Whitaker.

The next, Louis & Ali...

Julio Cesar Chavez vs Roberto Duran at 135lbs or Ezzard Charles vs Floyd Patterson.

Rocky Marciano vs Jack Dempsey

In my opinion it would be the greatest brawl for all in history. Neither man knew how to back up, both hit hard, were tough as nails, well conditioned, and were two of the most ferocious heavyweights of all time. Whether it went one round or 15, I could see both men taking off 6 months in a hospital after having gone head to head with one another.

George Foreman vs Vitali Klitschko

Only because Big George never lived up to his come back rant and ravings after Klitschko fought Lennox Lewis. Would have been interesting if George was given a year or so to train, and get it on with Vitali when he was at peak popularity.

Lennox Lewis vs Riddick Bowe

The fight that never was. Had Lewis fought Bowe and won, he would have beaten every name player in the division and ultimately would have had the right to of proven that he was the most dominant Heavyweight of his generation.

Rocky Marciano vs Ingemar Johansson

Just because it almost happened...would have been interesting to have seen The Rock, like Dempsey, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Schmeling, Louis, Corbett and others before him, go for a second shot at the title against a man who was made for Marciano...five or so years retirement or not, I can see Marciano coming back late.

For just one fight,you'd have to pick this one.(In their primes of course) Louis,the great classic short power puncher, stiff jab,incredible record. The heavyweight champ during the great depression and WW II. The African American who won the hearts of more whites that any other athlete(including Jackie Robinson) or anyone of his race. Modest and humble

And Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali fastest of the heavyweights. Boxed on his toes like a much lighter fighter ,never seen before. Unorthodox style:hands low,pulled his head straight back to avoid punches. Undefeated before retiring. A symbol of the counter culture that was sweeping away young people. You either loved him or hated him. Loud, a braggard,insulting

It's like a two man World Cup fighting in the sport's most prestgious division:the Heavyweight Division. "The Last Great Generation" vs. "The Age of Aquarius"

Of course, Bert would have been outclassed and smashed into little pieces as he always was when he stepped into world class.

That is a great, great match

I'd want to see Greb and Langford.

They were both at 160 for a time so that would the match up.

Harry Greb -v- Stanley Ketchel.

prime greb would destroy ketchel brutally!! it would not even be close.

Prime Mike Tyson v Prime Ali
