Assuming fighters are meeting in their absolute primes. Not saying these are the best fighters at each weight..but I think each one of these fights would make for absolute barn burners.
Margarito/Chavez
Hagler/Monzon
S. Mosley/S Ray Leonard
Pac-man/Aaron Pryor
Arturo Gatti/Vinny Pazienza
Mike Tyson/David Tua
Muhammad Ali/Joe Louis
Ezzard Charles/Roy Jones Jr.
Wilfredo Gomez/Erik Morales
Tommy Hearns/Tito Trinidad

Yeah. You are probably aware of what Floyd
Patterson could do but watch this at about 1:55

> Bob Foster-Michael Spinks, 15 rounds @ 175 lbs.
You are probably aware of what Bob Foster
could do (now I wonder who could've posted
that) but watch this at about 5:10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKW1cm3QtUU
> Roy Jones-Archie Moore, 15 rounds @ 175 lbs.
More of what Patterson could do at about 6:15

Heh Heh. Billy in with the best heavyweight of
the Louis era:
Louis / Conn pt 1
Louis / Conn pt 2
Don't know about color line adhering Tunny although
he and Tommy Loughran fought a boxrec draw (two
different newspaper decisions) in their fight at
lightheavyweight in which Tunny had Loughran
down for a no count in the first round.

Arguello vs. Pacquaio...Arguello by late round stoppage. Arguello would have picked the on rushing Pacquaio apart before stopping him with a left hook to the body, right cross combination around round eleven.

I don't know that '70s boxing aficionados could
handle the suspense of someone sitting on a
middleweight title (or two of them) for two years
while the world goes by.

That would be a good one. I bet Briscoe could handle the power....could Pavlik handle the pressure? Would the fight actually take place? Or, would Staph KO-0 Pavlik?

A brutal early stoppage by Liston is how I've
always seen the fight between Liston and one
of the fighters who observed the color line.

Sonny Liston vs. Jack Dempsey
These two were relentless in the ring and quite unforgiving.
One word, Brutal! match-up A 50/50 fight IMO.

Tito.
But, you'd have to be nuts to wager on a fight like that, because Julian certainly could take Tito out with one punch. Tito would have to be as patient as ever, even while Jackson's out on his feet!
Jackson at 154 was a better fighter than the one we saw at 160. Hands and reflexes were faster. But, Trinidad was just a better fighter than JJ.
