    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?
     
  2. Thomas Hearns vs Shane Mosley
     
  3. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    Canelo vs Carlos Monzon

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

    Hearns would indeed light Mosley up.
     
  5. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    Floyd vs Mike McCallum at 154.

    Ahhh what a grand mismatch this would be.
     
  6. Jones vs Duran at 160

    Ahhhhh what a glorious mismatch that would be
     
  7. Nice try though X, but no one in history could "mismatch" Mayweather at any weight from 130-154...beat him, yes but never mismatch.
     
  8. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    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.
     
  10. You seem to forget that Ray Robinson lost to "BIG HEAD" Lamotta. Robinson wasn't unbeatable.
     
  11. Thomas Hearns vs Bob Foster at 175lbs
     
  12. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    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...

    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...

    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
     
  19. Roy Jones Jr ('94-99) v Joe Calzaghe (absolute prime)
     
  20. Ray Leonard vs Joe Calzaghe at 168lbs
    Agreed. I forgot about Jones.
     
  21. 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.
     
  22. 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.

    Larry Holmes vs. David Haye
    Donald Curry vs. Victor Ortiz

    James Toney vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

    Ahhhhh, Jones vs Canelo would be a beautiful matchup to watch...
     
  25. You really hate Canelo don't you? lol

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

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