The two best "pound for pounders" in a single fight?

[Robbi]

Which two fighters have fought each other with the best combined talent and accomplishments?.

Probably the best way to do it would be to go down your pound for pound list starting with number one, then come to the first two fighters who have fought each other. To put it simply, the two highest ranking pound for pounders on your list who shared a ring.

The fight could well have been a stinker, and they could also have been well past their primes when they squared off, but it doesn't matter.

Its your opinion. It could well be two heavyweights.

Armstrong and Robinson fought each other, that would take some beating.

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Henry Armstrong. What more can be said?

.. beat me to it. :D

[Stewbear]

how about just in pros:good
or I think Pep vs Robinson takes it.
I think Armstrong is way overrated, and does respective primes come into play here as well or just names?

[Robbi]

Armstrong and Robinson fought each other, that would take some beating.

Interesting. I think Leonard v Duran takes some beating as well. Someone might have Robinson number one, Duran number four, Leonard five, and Armstrong at seven.

I always felt Robinson against Armstrong would be the one which gets the nod.

i think robinson armstrong is a #1 no brainer

[Sonny's jab]

Aside from Armstrong-Robinson, I guess some of the other most notable ones would be :

Greb-Walker
Charles-Moore
Pep-Saddler
Duran-Hagler

[McGrain]

Greb v Tunney is worthy of a mention.

[Street Lethal]

There's several. Here's a few:

Chavez-Whitaker
Hagler-Duran
Holmes-Spinks
Robinson-Armstrong
Whitaker-Nelson
Robinson-Gavilan
Ali-Foster
Ross-Armstrong
Ross-Canzoneri
Greb-Tunney
Louis-Charles

tyson vs lewis is a good one for hws

[Bad_Intentions]

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Henry Armstrong. What more can be said?couldn't have said it better.

[Dempsey1238]

Relly is Ross vs Armstrong imo. Robinson is so over rated.

Ross vs Cani follows in 2.

:lol:

Don't hold back now, you think Ross-McLarnin comes in at 3, and Ross-Petrolle at 4.

Ross-Garcia rounds out the top 5 :D

[la-califa]

Ali-Frazier I, Leonard-Hearns. Two fights pretty hard to beat...

[young griffo]

Jones Jnr-Hopkins
Lewis-Holyfield
Monzon-Napoles
Sanchez-Nelson
Gomez-Zarate
Arguello-Olivares

[Rock0052]

Might as well throw Marciano-Louis in there for the HW's. Also, for the classic buffs, I can't leave out Jim Jefferies (who most Heavyweights in the first half of the century thought was the best) and Bob Fitzsimmons.

[Bummy Davis]

Duran/Leonard Marciano/Charles 1 Sanchez/Gomez Leonard/Hearns 147
Wilde/Villa

[Minotauro]

Langford vs Gans they are ranked by many as both top ten p4p.

[McGrain]

This is a great shout.

The three ultimate p4p fights that actually happened are:

Langford/Gans
Greb/Walker
Robinson/Armstrong

It's a beaut isn't it? I wouldn't swap with Tyson in that moment for all the money Tyson squandered.
