haha you couldn't think of 4 better heavyweights than Bruno, Valuev or either Klitschko?

 

Ali boxes Tyson's socks off and stops him inside the distance. I'm going to be biased and say Lennox keeps Big George on the end of his reach for the night, boxing smart to win a close UD.

 

Ali-Lennox. Again slightly biased but i think this is a fight that, if they fought 10 times, each of them would win their fair share.

 

Did Ali ever face anybody as tall and as rangey as Lennox? At least that was as elite and as skilled as well. I'm not too sure if he did.

 

Ali could box and move all night. Slipping inside the jab at every opportunity and work on the inside to impress the judges. There's no way Ali can try to stand and fight on the outside, Lennox would simply pick him off all night from range.

 

A couple of outcomes i have in mind but i'm going to go against the general consensus and pick Lennox by decision again!

 

Bruno-Valuev would be one fecking boring fight, but if Frank boxes to his best ability, he easily outpoints Valuev. Valuev throws hardly any punches in a round so his best chance is a knockout. He simply doesn't seem to have the power to do that though even given his size, especially against somebody durable like Frank.

 

Bruno UD.

 

Now for the Klitschko-Klitschko fight. If you have it as a genuine fantasy match where both of them are actually full on going for it, then i give the fight to Vitali all day by KO inside 5. Simply too durable and too strong for Wlad who would crumble.

 

But if they actually did fight in the current climate, there's no way either would go for a knockout, it'd be like an exhibition, Wlad would more than likely win a wide UD.

 

But as it's fantasy i'd go for Vitali by KO.

 

Vitali also beats Bruno quite handily in the semi final. I'd probably be tempted to go for a late stoppage around the 9th-10th rounds.

 

And that leads us to Lennox-Vitali II.

 

I think with a longer camp and better preperation, Lennox beats Vitali comfortably on the cards. Much better technically and showing some nice combos in doing so.

Bruno vs. Valuev? Now that's a silly fight.

 

Here are my picks, assuming all are in their primes:

 

Ali over Tyson

Foreman over Lennox

Bruno over Niko

Vitali over Wlad

 

Ali over Foreman

Vitali over Bruno

 

Ali over Vitali.

 

Toughest call was Wlad-Vitali. Valuev was just a pretty face in boxing, Lennox couldn't take Big George's best shots, and Ali is the best of all these names...

--- Well, Vitali/Wlad was a silly match up that the usual suspects in the day were mysteriously calling for. They've sparred some, but only in one helping the other with strategy for an upcoming fight. They'd arrange for a lackluster light sparring match and let the judges decide, but they wouldn't even do that for the 100 mil they could've split by doing so in reality.

 

Don't see what's so silly about Bruno/Valuev. I'd pick Valuev in a heartbeat as nobody showed they could out box, out slug, or out muscle him, they could only do go on a rabbit run and let the dodgy judges rob him.

 

Prime Tyson over Ali every day of the week. Too quick, too murderous, terrible style matchup for Ali. See FOY.

 

Foreman/Lewis a bit more problematic. We never really saw the best of Foreman but we did Lewis. Could go either way.

 

At anyway, comes down to the Ks vs Tyson, a bad style match up for all concerned, so don't bet the farm.
