A draw would be diplomatic, but the crowd response may not be. All that expectation & build-up, you'd have a riot on your hands. Maybe a best of three?

Bout I: Points Draw
Bout II: No Contest
Bout III: Technical Draw by way of accidental headclash

How about Bout IV: Even going into the final round and they both score a double knock out?

Geez if I have to pick one,I pick Ali.Joe had trouble with boxers:Conn,Farr,Charles later on. I don't think Joe would catch him,but in return bouts Joe had the problem worked out and did better in the rematches---Godoy,Schmeling,Conn,Walcott

How about Joe Frazier Vs Mike Tyson.
It would be a war.

And incidently Ali Vs Louis would ofcourse be over the 15 round journey. What a thought !

Oh, one fight only, that's tough!

However, I'd say Louis-Tyson, both at their peak. Given the fact that there are so many fights I'd wish to make, my choice may changed come tomorrow!

That's boxing for you!

Duran vs. Chavez in their primes at 135 or 140, what a slugfest that would be!

Lennox Lewis v Riddick Bowe...

I HAVE to know how it would turn out!!

Crssbones · Post by **Crssbones** » 06 Dec 2007, 15:00

Roberto Duran - Julio Cesar Chavez - 135
Rocky Marciano - Joe Frazier
Azuhma Nelson - Barry McGuigan - 126
Azuhma Nelson - Boza Edwards - 130
Pipino Cuevas - Miguel Cotto - 147
Jack Dempsey - Rocky Marciano

Could have chose many more but I like these match ups off the top of my head for pure all action no matter how many rounds they last.

Pryor vs. Leonard.

Fight should have actually happened anyway.

actjac · Post by **actjac** » 30 Dec 2007, 13:50

Roberto Duran - Julio Cesar Chavez - 135
Muhammad Ali - Joe Louis
Sugar Ray Leonard - Sugar Ray Robinson
Jack Dempsey - Rocky Marciano

Seem to be the ultimate choices

mike mccallum v ray leonard

harrygreb · Post by **harrygreb** » 30 Dec 2007, 17:15

i know this is only opinion but mccallum v leonard comes way down the ladder of possible perfect all time dust ups.
what about hagler v lamotta? can i sell anyone a ticket for that one?
