    One fight. You pick two fighters from any era from any given period of their career and watch them fight from the front row. Hell you could match up that John Sullivan OG against prime Tyson.. so one fight only. front row. what fight do you watch ?

    Lewis-tyson prime for prime popped into my head first

    Napoles-duran would be incredible

    Sanchez-arguello would be top ten somewhere

    Hearns-jackson just for the thrill of seeing that much POWA

    Freddie little vs george benton for some style porn

    But the first one is the one that came into my head first today, so that

    Surely prime Ali Vs prime Tyson is seen as the ultimate mythical match-up, no?

    Liston against Lennox, Holyfield, Wlad or such. It would tell much about comparing different eras

    Being there's no fight footage of him perhaps I'd choose Harry Greb against a modern great like Hagler.

    Duran would be driving a Doritos truck in Akron a week after his humiliating boxing lesson at the hands of Pete Whitaker

    Robinson vs Leonard at welterweight.

    Whitaker vs Duran would be close.
