    Self explanatory. List some mythical mismatches that most likely end inside of 1 round.

    Prime Tyson vs Michael Grant

    Julian Jackson vs James Kirkland

    Hearns vs Khan

    Gerald McClellan vs Matthew Macklin

    Others?

    All good examples but whilst he would get absolutely fucked up, Macklin basically built his whole career around being tough, I think he can make it out of the first.

    I HATED Hatton, and whilst Tito takes him out in style, I think Hatton gets out of the first as well. Far lesser fighters than Hatton went a few rounds with Trinidad, and Tito was quite a slow starter.

    Yeah, I think Hatton might survive 1 with Tito. He gets clocked in either 2 or 3 though.

    I doubt that. I think Roy would have been fast and elusive enough to last a few rounds. But Lummox would have caught him before the mid rounds, and it would have been a violent KO.

    Napoles would destroy Ali in a one sided fight, but I feel like Ali would last a few, painful rounds. Napoles was a surgeon, but not a devastating hitter at 147. Still, Ali gets slaughtered inside of 5.

    I feel like Ali MIGHT last until 2 against Tito, only cause Tito always used the first round as a feel out. But Trinidad almost certainly violently KO's him in round 2.

    Jackson and Hearns... yes. Those two blow away Ali inside of 1 round.

    I'd take Leonard to stop Ali inside of 1 round as well... Andy Price style.

    If trinidad can floor vargas twice in round one, he could've certainly ended Ali. At 154 and above, trinidad was less patient.

    Hence why I said "might". A Tito KO 1 is certainly a high possibility.

    We can go on all day about guys who would have stopped Ali in 1-2 rounds.... we can add prime Curry to the list.

    They could put it on the same card as Tyson-Spinks II.
