It is for someone who sits around with their buddies, wondering what have happened if these two fighters fought in their prime. Could Mike Tyson beat Tyson Fury? Would Floyd Mayweather Jr beat Sugar Ray Leonard? There are so many imaginary matches to create to pit the best against the best of all time in boxing. The Shoulder Roll Virtual Boxing podcast will be your time machine, to create what-if fights. The tool I am using to create these matches is Title Bout 2, the computer simulation created by Jim Trunzo. IMHO he has created the best PC game out there to produce the best results. Obviously, this will not solve the answers of what legendary boxer could beat another legend. But that is not the purpose of this podcast. I want you to sit back and use your imagination.

As the heavyweight landscape undergoes a seismic shift, this desert duel highlights the growing tension between the \"sweet science\" and the Hollywood-inflected spectacle of crossover mega-fights. Rumors even suggest that action star Jason Statham played a pivotal role in connecting Verhoeven with the Middle Eastern power brokers behind the event.
