Any weight.. any year.. you could also post who would be the best opponent for him.

I'm not sure about best. I have a hard time comparing fighters from different weight classes and different eras. But Julio Cesar Chavez is my favorite and definitely one of the all-time greats.\n\nChavez wasn't at lightweight very long, but it would have been great to see him from '89 fighting a Roberto Duran from '78. That would have been an exciting fight - two guys free with their fists and with great chins. Personally, I think Chavez would have won by decision with his more refined subtle defense, but there's no way of knowing for sure.

Tough guy ~\n                    In my opinion, this would be a great match up, but I think that you might be surprised by my outcome. As great as Sanchez was, I think Willie "O' The Wisp"  would move around the ring so much that Sanchez wouldn't be able to catch him with anything solid. There have been rumors over the years that Willie once won a round in a fight with Jackie Graves on July 25th 1945 by not throwing one punch that he moved around the ring with such grace and elegance that the judges and referee were in awe over him. The truth of the matter is Pep didn't throw one punch in anger as he predicted before the fight and won the round by feints and light punching.\n            \n            The one thing that Sanchez could do is punch with accuracy, he was never one to go out there and just wing punches with the hopes of catching a opponent with the hopes of knocking him out. Stone faced and stern fashion he would dismantle his foe's with his devestating left hook to the body and his percise right hand. I had the privlage of meeting Sanchez and he was truly a legend eraly in his career.\n\n         Willie would out box Salvador over 15 rounds. There would be moments where the crowd would get on their feet thinking that Salvador would be close to knocking out Willie, but Willie would get on his bike a ride away. I never saw Willie fight live, but I have watched hours of video on him and the man could move. I did see Salavador fight and there is a reason why he's a legend, but I honestly believe that Pep was just a bit too much for him. Salavador never in his whole career never fought I guy that moved the way Willie did and in Willies career he fought plenty of fighters that fought the way Sanchez did, not as good, but the same style.

For a long time Calzaghe was in the position of being too good for any of the top dogs to risk defending their WBC/WBA/IBF titles against him. I think he's just got complacement and is taking what is given to him instead of rising or dropping in weight and making any noise about other fighters who could advance his career.\n\nI agree with you...I don't think there's a better fighter at 168 Lbs

Cotto might need a bit more polish before he can handle the difficult style of fighting hatton brings to the table. This could be a really good fight, but i actually dont think cotto would necesarily win. Its at a weight ricky wants to be at, and cotto is not as technically skilled as some may need to be to keep hatton off of you. He certainly could be eventually but i dont know when this fight would take place. Cotto still needs a little work, its a little to easy for him right now.

i would want to team up with the animal batiska then knock the big show out because i hate him so much he always gets involved in other peoples fights and the only reason he wins half of his fights is because he's fat and he's got an advantage.

I wouldnt pay much to watch this one, wouldnt be too many punches thrown here. Well not many landed anyway. I would say probably Whitaker SD at 147. I think he was a slightly better Welter, i think PBF might take it at a lower weight.\n\nDo you rate Whitaker above Hagler ?\n\nThat has really surprised me, i rate sweet pea quite highly but not in the same league as Hagler for me, but i guess that is down to a difference in opinion over fighting styles. I know that you like the way PBF fights so obviously you would rate Pernell Very highly as well. I have always been more into the brawlers so therefore Hagler is right up there for me. My favourite fighter of all time.\n\nIf hes your favourite fighter of alltime how can you rate somebody above him as a better boxer your contradicting yourself, i think you have just decided to be argumentative. I also know he wasnt an out and out brawler as per say but what i was trying to say was that he got involved a lot more than the two fighters you had mentioned above who fight going backwards.\n\nThe way that i think you could look at this is that Hagler would be in virtually everybodys top ten all time where as Sweet Pea might only make it into most peoples top twenty, i presume you will disagree.\n\nTherefore i dont want to argue about what you have said i will ask the question and we might be able to draw some conclusions from the answers. I know its only a difference of opinion so neither of us are right and neither of us are wrong but i would like to see what everybody else thinks.

In all seriousness- Both in thier prime would go to Ali. I say this because history has already shown us the way. Look at the great Ali Vs Foreman upset. Foreman was the Tyson of his day... Bull strong, Angry @ the world and not lacking in technical ability in any way.  Ali also trained for 15 round championship bouts Vs Tysons 12 round training regiment.  Ali's defensive skills would keep him moving to the later rounds and he would take care of him late --- just the same way Forman lost- Tyson might not have gone down for the count but he would for sure have lost on points. Even though this is my opinion.... I still would love to see this fight...

He can do it because of steroids. I would've hit him.

135lbs is not in the "lime light" presently but, some interesting match-ups could be just down the road. Morales is seeking a fight with Joel Casamayor for this Summer. Then there is the "Diaz Connection"- Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz the Undefeated WBA Champion (if you've never seen him he's a fantastic fighter), Julio Diaz the IBF Champ with 24 of his 33 wins via KO, and David Diaz a skillful boxer on the cusp of a title shot. This along with the unretired Acelino Freitas and the possible introduction of Pacman to 135lbs pretty soon, 135lbs should start getting more lively over the next 10 to 12 months.

Great match up! Two all time greats. Arguello had that stand up style. He would get leverage by punching down at his opponents, as he was very tall for his weight class. Arguello also had heavy hands and could bang with the best of them. Duran in my opinion is one of the best ten boxers ever and an absolute animal, virtually unbeatable at lightweight. Duran would pressure Arguello as Pryor did. He would work Arguello's body, watch video of Duran while moving in he kept his upper body moving, making him hard to hit (a master at rolling with punches). As great as Arguello was I don't think he could deal with Duran's constant pressure. Duran wins by unanimous decision, due to his high work rate.

I would like to see Hatton earn another quality win before I believe he can compete with Floyd.  The Collazo fight lowered Hatton's stock a bit.  If he can beat another good 147 lb fighter in the top 5 than I say give him a shot otherwise I haven't seen any thing that makes me think he can compete with Mayweather.

He would beat everyone but would probably lose to Liston. Norton would give him a good fight if he managed to keep his jaw out of the way.

Ashley Cole or Paul Scholes could rough him up..John Terry would be ideal though...haha..

Although toney might be the best skilled hw boxer right now, and valuev may be the most physically imposing, i have to say my current favorite is lamon brewster. He has true heavyweight power (as evidenced by his comeback stoppage of klitchko and quick knock out of golota) and he clearly has a lot of heart (fighting sergei with a detached retina from round 1 and nearly pulling out a decision). The amazing thing is is even though he is an american heavy, he really has recieved very little pub and needed to win the fight he lost in part because of injury. Its pretty disappointing as he really could have launched if he won a few more fights consecutively.

I'm glad you asked this question, general consensus would say Margarito...but honestly there is no one on Mayweather's level right now..De La Hoya would get embarrassed...I personally would like to see him fight Sugar Shane \n Remember he beat Baldomir with one hand which he hurt early in the fight, I noticed that before the announcers did....and he still did not lose 1 round in the fight. He didn't throw one right hand after the 6th round...y'all can hate on Mayweather but there is no one out there right now that can beat him...Period. You don't have to like him because he is an asshole, but you better respect him. UNDISPUTED..POUND FOR POUND THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD...and if you think different, then you don't know boxing....PERIOD

Interesting question here, yet i find the answers even more interesting (actually ODD is the word i'm looking for)... I would say Hopkins and here are my reasons for that answer:\n1. All but Mayweather have campained as a middleweight.\n2. Of those three middies, Hopkins holds wins over both Trinidad & Oscar.\n3. Bernard had (hopefully still when he tangles w/ Tarver) the ability to mix up his style. He completely befuddled Tito Trinidad by boxing. Trinidad & handlers assumed Hopkins would just bully Tito around the ring which would eventually lead to Trinidad walking Hopkins down. That didnot happen. Bernard boxed brilliantly, and as usual, did use some of his bullying tactics when Tito became so completely frustrated and unglued, leading to a KO victory for Bernard. Against the boxer Oscar, Bernard boxed, intimidated, and outpunched his opponent. The guy can make adjustments in the ring that other fighters cannot make. Eventually he will make his opponent fight the fight HE wants them to fight.\n3. If Floyd were to fight Hopkins, I'm sure the prognosticators would say Mayweather would use speed to frustrate Hopkins. However, I think Bernard would have Mayweather backing up the whole fight, using questionable bullying tactics to frustrate and intimidate Floyd.\n\nAs far as dudes from the past fighting these four now, man, imagine the possibilities:\nIn my opinion Marvin Hagler would beat Oscar by using a southpaw stance, counterpunching, making Oscar go backwards, and eventually wearing him out w/ brutal bodyshots. Hagler by late TKO.\nHagler would probably KO Trinidad by the 5th round. Tito would be his own worst enemy here. He only knows how to fight coming forward, therefore Hagler wouldn't have to look for him or chase him down, as he did against Ray Leonard.\nHopkins against Hagler would be one for the ages. Ask no quarter, give no quarter. In the end, I would say this one is a draw.\nNow for PBF. I would LOVE to see him fight a PRIME "Sweet Pea" Pernell Whitaker. Floyd thinks he has speed, but Whitaker was absolutely amazing. Many fights have been so onesided that one fighter can claim not to have lost a single round. I recall watching Pernell go through an entire fight w/o losing a minute against grade-A, top notch, quality fighters. His defense, speed, and ability to get under an opponent's skin would allow him to win a one sided unanimous decision. \nGreat question, man!

He's in great shape, and a well rounded fighter.  He has good ground skills and can win with submissions or with his strikes.  He's very good, but I'd still bet on Matt Hughes.
