Greetings to all loyal boxing fans, I have been a spectator and scholar of the sport of boxing since 1962 and have attended live fights and watched telecasts of fights on ABC, CBS, and NBC before CCTV / PPV took over. My understanding of dream fights are bouts that never materialized between the top fighters of that era, for example, John L. Sullivan v. Peter Jackson, James J. Corbett v. Peter Maher, Gene Tunney v. Jack Sharkey, Jack Sharkey v. Max Baer, James J. Braddock v. Max Schmeling, Rocky Marciano v. Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston v. Joe Fraizer, Jerry Quarry v. Oscar Bonavena, Ron Lyle v. Ken Norton, George Foreman v. Earnie Shavers, Salvador Sanchez v. Eusebio Pedroza, those are just exanples of what I call dream fights, You can never seriously compare a fighter of the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, amd 1950s against fighters from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s because of the changes in rules, regulations, training methods, scoring systems, and medical advancements and media coverage over the years, What are your thoughts ?...NUFF SAID !!!!!
