If you could see only one fight between two fighters in their prime from any era, which would it be?

I think Dempsey v Tyson would be pretty interesting

ali v louis probably not the most exciting fight to be made but one i would love to see

Armstrong-Duran would be difficult to top --- but so would a lot of fights.

Dempsey-Marciano

Holyfield/Frazier is always my answer to this one.

Agree. That would be a hell of a fight.

But another part of me would like to have Frazier-Marciano just so some here who think it would be a 50/50 deal could find out otherwise.

Purely hypothetical, but if Marciano beat Frazier, or went all the way with him, losing in a great, see-saw battle, what do you think you would say in the aftermath? Just curious.

Not the best I can do but I was thinking,what if Meldrick Taylor and Aaron Pryor fought?

I'd have liked to see Ray Robinson v Charlie Burley, both in their primes.

The punch stats would have blown the computer; I'dve never thought about matching those 2 but what a bout it would have been.

LaMotta v Hagler

Sugar RL v Sugar RR

March 28, 1905 - Jim Jeffries v. Jack Johnson, 25 rounds, Mechanic's Pavilion, San Francisco, California for Jeffries' world heavyweight championship. Referee: Ed Graney.

Terry McGovern-Ruben Olivares

There are a million more.This one came to mind.

Mike Tyson vs Ernie Shavers
Duran vs Armstrong at any weight class
Hagler vs Greb

ali - stevenson

Charles/Langford

Joe louis vs Butterbean

September 1924 - Benny Leonard v. Mickey Walker, 15 rounds, the Polo Grounds, NY for Walker's world welterweight title.

I'd want to see Greb against any of the great middleweights.

I'd also want to see Langford take on some of the 80s HWs who would outweigh him.

Dempsey-Wills
Jeffries-Langford
Hearns-Basilio
Hearns-Griffiths
Hearns-Mayweather
Sanchez-Pedroza
Pedroza-Nelson
McGuigan-Fenech

any combination of Sanchez, Arguello, Chavez, for me.

I was just going to type Sanchez/Arguello.

You know it just kind of came to me and then I was like holy hell that would be amazing! What a fantastic action fight that would be. Man that fight sounds so good!
