The Epic Mismatch Matchup Thread (Continued)

It's back.

Post any epic mismatch you'd like. Can between any two fighters, past or present.

Let's think of a few horrendous mismatches:

Meldrick Taylor vs Brandon Rios

Shane Mosley vs Ruslan Provodnikov

Ray Leonard vs Danny Garcia

Donald Curry vs Adrien Broner

Roberto Duran vs Tim Bradley

Terry Norris vs Andre Berto

Dwight Qawi vs Jeff Lacy

Bob Foster vs Charles Brewer

Kostya Tszyu vs Michael Katsidis

Others?

 

Thomas Hearns vs Shane Mosley

 

Canelo vs Carlos Monzon

 

You're not gonna get a Shane reaction out of me on this one.

Hearns would indeed light Mosley up.

 

Floyd vs Mike McCallum at 154.

Ahhh what a grand mismatch this would be.

 

Jones vs Duran at 160

Ahhhhh what a glorious mismatch that would be

 

Nice try though X, but no one in history could "mismatch" Mayweather at any weight from 130-154...beat him, yes but never mismatch.

 

It indeed would be.

Jones would brutally stop Duran at 160.

 

You're one who thinks that Floyd could beat Ray Robinson, so I'm not responding to this.

 

You seem to forget that Ray Robinson lost to "BIG HEAD" Lamotta. Robinson wasn't unbeatable.

 

Thomas Hearns vs Bob Foster at 175lbs

 

You'll have to excuse Robinson losing to a Lamotta that had a considerable weight edge then avenging the defeat several times.

I heard Ray had a bad shoulder....

 

FYI, Roy Jones Debuted @ '54...

That's a MISMATCH, Bruh...






REED

 

Hearns vs Floyd at 154 is very much a mismatch as well.

 

Though Shorter, LaMotta was the Naturally Bigger, Stronger Man...

It's NOT like LaMotta OutBoxed Robinson...Has NO Impact @ All on How Floyd-Robinson Would Play Out...





REED

 

Don't bother.

Robinson was 128-1 at one point.

Duran was 71-1 going into the Leonard fight.

Sly considers both inconsistent.

 

Michael Spinks vs. Chavez Jr.

 

Leonard vs Pacquiao

Trinidad vs Hatton

Hearns vs Canelo

 

Roy Jones Jr ('94-99) v Joe Calzaghe (absolute prime)

 

Ray Leonard vs Joe Calzaghe at 168lbs

Agreed. I forgot about Jones.

 

Yes, but Robinson should have never lost to Big Head short Lamotta if he was the so called perfect fighter. Agreed...that Floyd vs SRR is a different fight. I can see Floyd outboxing him though. SRR is a legend but Floyd is a smarter and more elusive fighter than Robisnon was. Robinson has the edge in power and flurrying handspeed...but he also had the edge over turpin and Turpin outboxed him.

 

Never said Duran was inconsistent at lightweight. I said that he was inconsistent above lightweight. As for Robinson...I never said that he was inconsistent. Robinson was pretty dominant: he'd always win rematches. Robinson was GREAT but beatable.

 

Thomas Hearns vs. Amir Khan
Lennox Lewis vs. David Haye
Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Arturo Gatti
Mike Tyson vs. David Haye
Mike McCallum vs. Kermit Cintron
Larry Holmes vs. David Haye
Donald Curry vs. Victor Ortiz
Roy Jones Jr vs. Canelo Alvarez
James Toney vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

Ahhhhh, Jones vs Canelo would be a beautiful matchup to watch...

 

You really hate Canelo don't you?

Jones would mismatch a great deal of people. He'd totally fuck up Duran at 160lbs for example.

 

Duran started his career BELOW 135... I would sure hope t

Duran started his career BELOW 135... I would sure hope to Hell that Roy being the MUCH MUCH larger man would blow him out.

What does Duran have to do with a matchup between Roy and the plodding Ginger?

There's PLENTY of mismatch matchups in history to put Canelo in. It doesn't have to be Jones.

 

GGG vs LaMotta. Triple G would fuck him up big time bro.

 

Lennox Lewis vs. Deontay Wilder
Roberto Duran vs. Zab Judah
Shane Mosley vs. Adrien Broner

 

After Shane's done with Broner, AB would stand for Alotta hospital Bills.
