Hypothetical Match Up Game

[Stevie G]

Ray Mercer gets up from 4 knock-downs to Knock-out Tyson in the 10th.

Ron Lyle vs. Ken Norton
Interesting one. If Lyle can impose himself on Norton early,and tag him with one of his big shots,Ken may freeze,and get knocked out. Mind you,Lyle was a solid,but not particularly a hard puncher of the Foreman/Shavers school,so if Ron fails to get in first,I can see Ken outboxing him. Thsi is the most likely scenario,imo. Norton by decision.

Ron Lyle vs. Ken Norton

I v.much like this. :thumbsup BUT - How teh fuck would Tyson knock-down Mercer, when Lennox didnnt And Lewis hits way, way harder teh Tyson??


Norton get up from Knock-down And win CLOSE decision IMO.
Norton = Grade A, Ronny-L is Grade B*.


What about teh Mythical 1988 Tyson VS 1996 Mercer??

What about teh Mythical 1988 Tyson VS 1996 Mercer??After taking a couple of blistering combo's early on. Mercer goes the Bonerusher route & is content to grab & hold on for a decision loss.

I could see the Margo that beat Cotto have sucess but I think Duran's slippery inside fighting and iron chin would help him prevail. Margo goes the distance though

Thats a toughie...I like Carter a little bit better.

If you chucked them in 10 different fantasy matches I think Carter matches better..Maybe they win the same but I think Carter would do better in his losing efforts...at his very absolute best I mean though.

But Jimmy had a tendency to fight a little to patiently..He would explode for a little while and then go back to being patient..whereas Brown had a very good workrate, moved around and punched a hell of a lot. More a consistent operator, with very good stamina.

I think Brown might just edge it, as Carter sometimes let fights get a bit close with his pacing and Brown was rousing finisher in the championship rounds.

Ralph Dupas vs Miguel CottoGreat post! This is how it should be done. some of the posts lately are results with little or no rationale behind it. It doesn't have to be a long explaination. but a brief reasoning for your result. would be well recieved.
Sorry dont know much about Dupas to handle this one...

i will take a stab at this one if that's ok.

i will take dupas to win by decision he was quick on his feet had a very good defence and his hands were on the quick side this along with good ring intelligence would give cotto problems scoring , cotto would not be in danger of being stopped it may just simply be that dupas skill and style would be a bad one for cotto

Winstone by UD. Howard was a different class to Paul. Dwight Qawi v James Toney at 175 lbs.

Tyson by ko. Holyfield would n't have been ready in 1988.

[Foreman Hook]

Tyson by ko. Holyfield would n't have been ready in 1988.

Yeah Tyson TKO5 i think m8.

What if it was in 1989 instead??

218lb Tyson [who won VS Bruno] VS 208lb Holyfield [won VS Dokes],, here Holyfield is less green And has 6lbs extra Muscle-Mass. So IMO Holyfield wins by TKO10. :!:

I still don't think Holyfield would have been quite ready. 1991 and after,The Real Deal beats Iron Mike.

jimmy carter vs joe brown 135Great fight, Joe Brown too much for Carter , Brown the busier fighter captures a decision win in 15 rounds.

Sugar Ramos .vs Joel Casamayor. 15 rounds.

Bump.

The two fighters trade knockdowns early, but Ramos comes on later in the fight and emerges with a hard fought, but clear UD.

Kennedy McKinney vs Mayhar Monshipour.

[la-califa]

Mckinney constant presure, pounds out a close decision victory. he willingly goes to war & finally overwhelms his opponent for a UD.

Meldrick Taylor .vs. Frankie Randall 12 Rds.



taylor has the speed and better boxing ability in this match-up coupled with fact that randall would not have the power to score a ko or the style to grind taylor down , and that for me gives taylor enough to take a clear ud



michael nunn vs herol graham 15 rounds at middleweight

[anarci]

Ill Take Nunn by Ud Graham was very good but Nunn on his best day was a tier higher and for a short period a great fighter..... Nunn ud


Pacquiao vs Whittaker at 147

Pacquiao vs Whittaker at 147
I'd favour Pernell,by decision. As good as Pacquiao is. Alan Minter v Sumbu Kalambay.

[Mr Butt]

I'd favour Pernell,by decision. As good as Pacquiao is. Alan Minter v Sumbu Kalambay.

i will take this is over 15 rounds ,both could be awkward for their opponents for me minter would win the jab battle and whether over 15 rounds or 12 minter would finish the stronger to take a close decision .


john h stracey vs colin jones, welterweight 15 rounds

[The Funny Man 7]

Stracey boxes well inside and out to take a close UD over Jones who I think is definitely underrated around here. I think Stracey's subtle defense and underrated body punching nip it for him.

Bob Foster vs James Toney at light heavy.

[D.T]

I think Foster overpowers Toney for most of the fight and wins a SD.


Mike Tyson vs Jack Johnson?

[El Bujia]

Minter outjabs Kalambay?

[Mr Butt]

Minter outjabs Kalambay?

yeah i know minter did not have the worlds best jab but for me he was a durable fighter that was a determined type with a decent level of power. minters jab was a decent jab none more than that admittedly .i think half of kalambays defeats came at the hands of lefty's (no matter your thoughts about the kayule fight it is down as a loss,i myself have not seen it so cant really comment) and yes i am aware that kalambay did have his wins at world level over the likes of graham and sims,but for me the southpaw stance may help minter in this fight

[teeto]

El Buja and PowerPuncher are 2 i seemed to like in 2010. GPater has evolved as well, he's a great poster now, not that he wasn't before, he was just young and now he's matured.

Pone Kingpech vs Mark Johnson - FlyW ?

[Drew101]

Know what..? I think Johnson might just be able to do the same thing that Ebihara did, and blast Kingpetch out early. Good style match-up for Johnson, who in terms of speed and power was just about the equal of his fellow southpaw. Something tells me he doesn't give Kingpetch the time to get un-tracked and scores a first or second round stoppage.

Jorge Vaca vs Carlos Baldomir (Battle of journeymen who became welterweight champions)

Jorge Vaca vs Carlos Baldomir (Battle of journeymen who became welterweight champions)Baldomir has the ability to absorb the power shots & then outwork Vaca for a tough decision win.

Erik Morales .vs. Hector Camacho. 12 rounds, @ 130 Lbs.

[El Bujia]

Camacho at that weight. Too quick. Yep, that's my analysis.

Come in with the milk vs Show me all the blueprints.

[WhataRock]

Nothing can stop me now....except microscopic germs KO's both.

[kmcc505]

Fine I'll name the next one.

Wladimir Klitschko vs Gene Tunney

Wladimir Klitschko vs Gene Tunney

fuck...i don't like this one. wlad is probably my favourite current fighter and i favour him against a lot of all time great heavies but tonight i'm leaning towards tunney. tons of movement, brilliant jab and over 15 rounds i see him bring home a close decision based on the championship rounds.

jose napoles vs ted lewis (140 or 147 pounds)

Torres by tko. Tommy Farr v Ingemar Johansson

Farr by decision , imo .

Arguello vs Pacquiao

[Drew101]

Farr by decision , imo .

Arguello vs Pacquiao

At Jr. Lightweight,I'd pick Arguello by late rounds, come from behind stoppage.

The Explosive Thin Man had a knack for taking apart talented, hard-hitting southpaws (e.g. Navarette, and Ganigan). Pac does well early, builds up a lead and might even drop Alexis, but at some point I think Arguello's withering body attack takes it toll and opens Pac up for the finish.

Speaking of junior lightweights...Two Japanese champions of some note...

Kuniaki Shibata vs. Yoshiaki Numata

[la-califa]

Not familiar enough with Shibata or Numata to call this one...

How about a New Jersey battle royal? James J Braddock versus Dwight Braxton? 15 rounds.
