    10 fight card...

    The first 5 fights are amongst active fighters in or around the same weight division. The second 5 fights are all time amongst fighters of the same era in or around the same weight division (for example: Tua vs. Tyson). Feel free to repeat names as the card doesn't have to be on the same date.

    1. R. Marquez - JuanMa

    2. W. Klit - Valuev

    3. Vazquez - Caballero

    4. Mayweather - Mosley

    5. Mayweather - Pac

    6. Tszyu - Mosley (before Mosley moved up to 147)

    7. Lennox - Wlad (some time after the Vitali-Lennox fight)

    8. Tyson - Tua (1996)

    9. Mosley - Trinidad (at 147)

    10. DLH-Trinidad 2 (immediate rematch)

    I'll make these two separate cards a dream card and a fantasy card. Off the top of my head.

    Dream

    1) Mayweather-Pac
    2) Haye-Wlad
    3) Mosley-Judah
    4) R Marquez-JuanMa
    5) A Gomez-Jennings

    Fantasy

    1) Duran-Pryor (140, 1979)
    2) Hearns-Curry (154, 1984)
    3) Foreman-Shavers (1976)
    4) Sanchez-Arguello (130, 1980)
    5) Tapia-McCullough (122, 2000)

    Although some of these matchups have clear favorites, i think all of of them would be entertaining and still have the possibility of an upset.

    Today:

    Pacquiao vs Mayweather

    JM Marquez vs Valero

    Kessler vs Dawson

    Gamboa vs Soto

    Mosley vs Berto


    Fantasy:

    Heavy - Holyfield vs Frazier

    Middle- Hagler vs Toney

    Welter - Napoles vs Hearns

    Light - Duran vs Chavez

    Feather - Pacquiao vs Sanchez

    Bonus attraction: Ernie Shavers vs Zab Judah

    Dawson-Cloud's a fight I'd like to see as well.

    Wanted to see that made when Cloud was Dawson's mandatory.

    He has a chance next week to make a statement...could be one of the better FNF cards of the year.

    woods is fresher and better than gonzalez but he's too similar. if cloud is preparing to eventually fight dawson he isn't exactly facing guys who will help him do so.

    He's fighting guys who'll win him a title.

    Another match I'd make...Vasyl Lomachenko in a pro debut against anybody.

    Nice list, but a lot of those guys aren't from the same era. I was thinking more of fights that should have been made that never were made rather than mythical match-ups.
