Fantasy fights

walshb

Guys I think maybe we should start up a few fantasy or dream fights. Any views on who would have won at their peaks between Tyson and Ali...I say Ali by late TKO, frustrating the unstable Tyson and wearing him down in the late stages

Gilgamesh

I would like to see Godzilla fight Bahamut, think Bahamut would win though, he has the advantage of flight on his side

StaggerLee

But Godzukki could distract the ref while Godzilla hits hits him with a chair.

Gilgamesh

woudl work if bahamut hadn't eaten the ref in the first 2 seconds and spat the bones at Godzukki which pinned him to the ground

StaggerLee

he'd get disqualified for eating the ref.

Gilgamesh

yeah but with the ref not been there anymore, and assuming Godzilla trashed the rest of the place, who is going to disqualify them?

Big Ears

Hagler V Hopkins , Louis V Marciano (unlike the real fight Louis would be in his prime) , Ricky Hatton V Roberto Duran , Erik Morales V Floyd Mayweather and finally Lennox Lewis V Sonny Liston .

Hagler to win inside the distance...Marciano by late TKO, Duran by very close decision, a draw is possible, Mayweather to win and Lewis by KO......

Geiger

Audley Harrison vs Any Decent Opponent

Just so he can get beat and leave us all alone. He's fighting Robert Wiggins next. A 36 year old from the US. The most notable names on his record are DaVarryl Williamson and Monte Barrett, both of which he lost to on points.

I would have liked to have seen Steve Collins fight Roy Jones Junior. Not in 1999 when Collins was going to fight him but couldn't for medical reasons but around the time he fought Eubank and Benn.

Stephen Hawking Vs Christopher Reves
Batman Vs Superman
The A team Vs Mc Guyver
Cpt. Kirk Vs Cpt Picard
Robocop Vs Terminator
Cameran Diaz Vs Scarlet Johanson

StaggerLee

Roy Jones would have burst our Steve at that time.

Nobody bust Steve so who's to say?

Why wouldn't Jones take the fight?

Keyzer

I'd like to see Gargamel have a scrap with Papa Smurf UFC style...
I reckon with Gargamel's height, weight and pimple advantage he would be a bookies favorite but I'm sure Papa Smurf would have a few tricks up his sleeve...

snakeater

Apollo Creed v Clubber Lang

Roper

Jones didn't take Collins (alledgedly) cos he knew that even if he did beat him it would be a scrap. Jones never crossed the Atlantic and never fought too many names around then.
Eubank, Benn, Watson, McLellan............

nah, louis in his prime would have destroyed marciano and if your talking about liston in his prime i dont think lewis would beat him. at his best liston was one of the toughest, heaviest hitting heavyweights of all time, it might be close but i think listons raw power would win out over lewis's better technique.

personally i would of liked to see what had happend if ibeabuchi hadnt gone off the rails and had got a shot at lewis

stagolee

while im on the subject of "the president"(daft nickname for a boxer) Ike Ibeabuchi Vs. big george foreman in their respective primes would be interesting.

or a pirme tyson vs a prime david tua , i know all the tyson nuts will be insulted by me even suggesting this matchup but tua has never been knocked out and he has a hell of a knockout punch so i reckon it could be a close one.

Eubank, Benn and Watson wouldn't have been able to touch Jones.

McClellan was a different story. He was being built up for a Jones fight but it never happened because he lost. He beat Jones in the amatuers but I think Jones would have overturned it easily.

Why does this myth surrounding Collins continue??? He was a brawler who took away Eubanks unbeaten record and beat Benn and thats it.

Jones wouldn't take the fight because there was noting in it for him He might aswell fight Joe Calzaghe. And more importantly and realisticly why didn't Steve fight Joe?

There was an interview with him a while ago where he said he didn't have the hunger any more at that time. I think Calzhage would have taken him hunger or not.
I think Benn might have taken Jones. I also think McLellan might if he'd stayed with Kronk. Same with his fight with Benn.
