Maybe Rocky vs. Sonny depending how things go for the Rock over the next year or two..."if" he comes back that is.

That could be a tough order to fill! Rocky fighting at 39 might not be a pretty sight for his fans. Also I have Liston doing a five year jail term.
I'm pretty much using Dean's revised ratings (see the Day Council thread in the Mods section) which I like very much and seem to be pretty accurate. Dean recently provided a "comeback" version of Rocky that I've tested. Take a look at it and you'll see that he sort of loses quite a bit at age thirty-four. Stretching him out another five years might be too much to expect. If he were to make a comeback, I don't know if we'd want to see him become a punching bag.
Right now a successful comeback would center around him taking care of guys like Patterson, Johansson, Folley, Machen, and Cleveland Williams. No light fare there!
But thanks for your comments! All I can say is I'll so my best. If the Rock does comeback and makes it to 1962, you might very well see him in the ring against the Louisville Lip. And beyond that, he might try to tame the Bear!
Anyway, I'm in the first year of the simulation (1957) which will conclude when Liston fininhes his time in 1962. A lot can happen in the next five years!!!!
