It probably would have been one of the best match-ups ever!

Who would have won, and how?

I say Holmes on points in a glorious fight.

I have him at no. 1 just based on all the Hall of Fame fighters he beat from lightweight all the way up to heavy:

Lightweights:
Joe Gans- was vastly more experienced. Sam faced Joe and Blackburn in his first full year as a pro,

Jack Blackburn

Welter:
Joe Walcott- a draw. Also more experienced than Sam

Middle:
Stanley Ketchel- Sam actually CARRIED the great Ketchel for 6 rounds. How's that for amazing? I have the nespaper account.

Tiger Flowers- KO 2

Lightheavy:
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien- KO 5

Kid Norfolk- KO 2

Heavy:
Jack Johnson- L 20. Sam was outweighed by 29 lbs and had much less experience. Johnson only fought him once. That says something when you consider JJ faced all the other great black fighters numerous times.

Joe Jeanette- said Sam was better than Johnson

Harry Wills- said Sam was best he ever faced.

Sam McVea

George Godfrey

Don't know if Wills or Godfrey are in the HOF, but both were top at heavy .Sam had 130 KOs in 130 victories

This question was asked but resolved before many people had time to answer, so I'm reopening it. Look under "resolved questions" for my answers: Ace Hudkins, Ad Wolgast and now that I think of him, Mysterious Billy Smith. All these guys would be looking not just to ko you, but hurt you badly before they do. Then they'd probably come looking for you AFTER the fight!

Guys like Sonny Liston and Mike Tyson would be scary, but quick(they'd probably ko you before doing any real damage). Just my point of view.

So be honest, folks. Who would really put the fear of the maker into you?

I'm asking the experts on Yahoo answers, me and some of guys from my gym were arguin over this i wonder what you guys think. How do you think weight training is good for a boxer, and how do you think its bad? I think weight lifting is good for a fighter as long as he dont overtrain and as long as he stops long enough prior to a fight (so his muscles aren't all tight before the fight). What lifts do you think are good and what lifts do you think are bad?

And the minimum and maximum that you have to weigh for each of them?

Cheers.

An undefeated record or quality of opposition? Many cite Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record as proof positive that he was the greatest heavyweight ever. But what great champions wouldn't have been 49-0 against that opposition? Conversely, Muhammad Ali's opposition was devastating from stem to stern. A collection of beautiful boxers and devastating sluggers. I'm not so sure Rocky would have retired undefeated if he'd had to face the likes of Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Larry Holmes or Joe Frazier. Heck, Jimmy Ellis, Jimmy Young, Ron Lyle, George Chuvalo and Earnie Shavers could have made it a rough night for Rocky. Everyone else did, why not they?

The Rock was a great fighter, but he fought during one of the weakest stretches in the division's history. Charles, Louis, Walcott and Moore were all old men, well past their respective primes.

So I ask you, what is more important in determining greatness? Opposition or an undefeated record? Thanks all for listening to my bs!

1.Henry Armstrong- the archtype

2.Terry McGovern- pressured and KOd the reigning bantam, feather and lightweight champs all within 10 months.

3.Battling Nelson- tireless. thickest skull in history (I hear they measured it after he died).

4.Rocky Marciano

5.Jack Dempsey

6.Joe Frazier

7.Tom Sharkey- read his profile by Tracy Callis on the cyberboxingzone website. A devastating socker and iron hard. Beat Corbett, Choynski, McCoy and most of the top heavies of his time. Just couldn't get past Jeffries and Fitzsimmons.

8.Ad Wolgast- if his hands weren't so fragile would have remained champ till Benny Leonard came along.

9.Aaron Pryor

10.Billy Petrolle- The "Fargo City Express"(the name says it all). Beat Canzoneri, McLarnin and a host of others.

Honorable Mention: Jeff Fenech, Beau Jack, Bob Montgomery, Lou Ambers, George Kid Lavigne, Fighting Harada, Ace Hudkins, John L. Sullivan. Anyone I'm missing?

In the first edition of "The 100 Greatest Boxers of All Time" he ranks Wills at 82, ahead of such fighters as Thomas Hearns, Salvador Sanchez, Bob Foster, Aaron Pryor, Jim Jeffries, Carlos Ortiz and Gene Fullmer. In the latest edition of this book, which is re-titled, is Wills now off the list?

Mosley was in camp mimicking Floyd's style and getting Oscar prepared for the fight, will that really have any bearing on the outcome of the fight?
