I can say without hesitation Azumah would win by Unanimous Decision. The fight itself would be a candidate for "Fight of the Year" matching two ring savvy boxers who each possessed one punch KO power. I see Marquez tasting the canvas at least twice giving "The Professor" a comfortable lead on the scorecards. \n\nAlthough Marquez is a fantastic fighter the level of competition that he has defeated pales on comparison to the people Nelson tussled with. Also, Marquez has a history of turning down fights or asking for an outrageous amount of money (which always lead to the promoter tossing the fight in the round file). Whether Marquez did this purposefully no one can answer except Juan himself and I don't see him admitting to it. \n\nThen look at the guys each has lost to plus the fact that Marquez' chin is definitely "flawed" (goes down often but rallies back to win impressively) and its a no brain-er that Azumah was the superior man. Great question Bklyn keep em coming.

I would love to see this fight, Pac definitely has the better resume but from what Ive seen of Valero (you tube) he's a beast, but he also is lacking defense. This would be a slugfest and I think we'd see both get knocked down and there is no way it goes to the judges. I think Valero would have a legit shot a winning this, it would be a risky fight for Manny.

As other people have said, the record doesn't mean much if the guys he beat were tomato cans.  About 20 years ago, there was a middleweight named John "The Beast" Mugabi who had a similar record.  He fought Marvin Hagler and promptly got pasted.  Not saying the guy isn't any good, just that you should take inflated records with a grain of salt.

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.

Floyd will annihilate Hatton!!  He doesn't belong in the Welterweight Division.  Luis Collazo (not a puncher) showed it.

I would have liked to see that one.  I have always been a huge fan of boxing and Marvin Hagler was my favorite.  Geeze, I guess I would have to go with the man Marvin to win that fight.  I even named my cat after Marvin.  lol

The way the heavyweight division is right now, Holyfield's got a chance to become a 5 time champ if he gets a title shot. He's been counted out many times over but proved his critics wrong.I absolutely believe he will retake the crown. He's got a big heart and the most courageous fighter ever.

Walker by split decision. Only after going 15 bruising rounds with a man that doesn't know the word quit, Carmen Basilio. This match up would be a Ring Magazine Fight of The Year type bout.Interesting having them fight at middleweight. Two natural welters. Good match up partner!

Damn!  You have Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Hector 'Macho' Camacho, Meldrik Taylor...  Vitor Belfor?  Choose one.  :)

I think it's most likely going to be someone from a former Soviet-bloc country,  the leading 'next great heavyweights' in my book are,\n\nWladimir Klitschko of Ukraine \nHe easily outboxed and outpunched Chris Byrd and earned the IBF title.\n\nSergei Liakhovich of Belarus\nHe had put on a great show with Lamon Brewster and now holds the WBO title.\n\nOleg Maskaev of Kazakhstan \nIf his rematch with Rahman goes well, he'll hold the WBC title.\n\n\nAll three of these guys are good boxers with a lot of potential.  Maskaev's chin may be a little suspect, but so was Klitschko's .. undeserving, if you ask me.  Anyone of these guys can throw enough power to knock anybody down.\n\n\nOf course, I'm a fan of Baby Joe Mesi.  He's still undefeated.  But his last couple of wins were struggles, especially with Jirov who had just stepped up from cruiserweight, if memory serves.  Joe hasn't been fully tested against a true heavyweight contender, and at this point, since he has suffered multiple subdural hematomas on his brain, I just cannot support his continued fighting.  I liked to watch the guy box, but now it's just a matter of time before he gets seriously hurt.\n\n\nOf all of these guys, I like Klitschko's chances the best. With Manny Steward in his corner he seems to have settled into a better strategy for winning fights .. accentuating his strengths, staying away from the opponent's strengths, and maximizing his opponent's weakness.  He just systematically demolished Byrd from the start of the 2nd round.  Unless he falls back into bad habits of punching himself out or moving straight back and suffers another huge knockout loss, I think he'll be on the move toward the next great heavyweight.\n\nOf course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

agreed. Floyd Mayweather is by far the best pound for pound boxer to step into the ring. The only rival to the crown might be Roy Jones Jr. 10 years ago. \nMost exciting class, that would probably be welterweight untill may, when mayweather fights Oscar at middleweight. Truth.

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...

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 would really like to see Andre Arlovski take on Mirko CRO COP Filipovic.\n\nI know you're probably not going to like this statement but I honestly do believe that Andre is one of the most overrated fighters today. He is currently ranked as number 4 heavyweight in the world behind Fedor, Nogueira and Mirko but above Sergei Kharitonov, Josh Barnett, Aleksander Emelianenko, Fabricio Werdum and Mark Hunt and I really don't think that he deserves to be above these people.\n\nAnd what can you say about Mirko? He is, along side Hunt, the best striker in the world (that left high kick is a lethal weapon) with aveseome knockout power and now, with all the improvements that he's been making and showing lately, with an excellent ground game as well.\n\nSo this fight would be a real reality check for Arlovski. I personally don't think that he would stand a chance. So my pick is CRO COP by a KO or TKO within the first five minutes.

I would have loved to see Danny Greene K.O. mundine.Danny seems to be from the "old school", a Rocky type of fighter who just keeps on grinding away at his opponents. Mundine's a great fighter, his natural ability, his fitness, gets him through,BUT,his mouth lets him down. If there is nothing good to say about your opponent, say nothing!I don't know what made him wear that ridiculous outfit to the weigh-in, but he looked like he just stepped out of an old Al Capone movie, a pimp, straight out of the brothel.Bad losers are pathetic but loud mouthed winners are worse!Mundine was the better boxer on the night but Greene will always be a better man!
