    Trinidad vs Cuevas would be intriguing because both have KO a power.

    But I think Carlos Palomino gives Tito a tougher fight.

    Pac would absolutely rip Gatti to shreds. It would be ugly.

    Cuevas might floor tito, but its hard to see him not catching a beating

    Cuevas ain't Campas. He's an EXTREMELY dangerous opponent for Tito. Pipino Cuevas is criminally underrated on this forum.

    Tito would likely knock him out circa 7-9, but Cuevas is live.

    I dont think his style mesh well with tito. Hes live against dlh and very live (maybe favorite) against quartey, but the wide swinging style should play in titos hands

    Yes, but Trimidad do well to not get knocked down in the first place. Cuevas was a ruthless finisher, and he was a helluva lot faster than someone like Campas.

    Trinidad would be my pick though.

    Curry vs Quartey is one of my dream welterweight MMs.

    Robinson vs Hearns would be good.

    I think AJ goes out like Carl Williams. I can see Mike catching with the exact same move/same punch.

    Even the Savarese and Golota versions of Tyson would destroy AJ. Young Tyson not required.

    At 154, a MM I always wanted to see was pre-prison Tony Ayala vs Matt Hilton.

    The shot Tyson against Etienne would be 50-50 against Joshua

    No, that's going way too far. Tyson lost to Danny Williams just one fight later. AJ's a helluva lot better than Danny Williams.

    AJ stops the Ettiene version of Tyson. For sure.

    Everything Tyson had left in the tank was gone after 2000.

    Yeah, AJ's not that bad. Any semi-decent heavyweight would beat the post-Lewis Tyson.

    The 2000 Tyson is different because Mike was still coming in at 220, and still retained a decent amount of hand and foot speed. He had this three fight renaissance (Francis, Savarese, Golota) where he looked very sharp and explosive. At that point, I think he would've stopped Joshua.

    But after the Golota fight, Mike got fat and inactive.

    Gomez vs Morales at 122. Would have been a war.

    Johnny Tapia vs Juan Francisco Estrada @ 115 would have been epic.

    Same. Gomez would fuck up Morales.

    He would fuck up Rigo too. The Cuban is too mentally weak for Gomez. Gomez would break him down to the body, and Rigo would quit on his stool before the inevitable conclusion.

    I think Pac and Fenech are the two most dangerous opponents for Gomez at 122.

    Yeah, that'd be a good fight. One you know is going the distance, but it'd be fought at a high skill level.

    Yeah Tyson was only dangerous early, but not massively so at that point and it's not like it was any secret what he would try. Basically anybody competent enough to get past the first few rounds was going to beat him. He was like a high mile muscle car with a coffee cup full of gas in the tank.
