COVER: Charlize Theron in a ring in a gold bikini staring down a 1966 Raquel Welch in her "One Million Years, BC" garb. HEADLINE IN BLUE: "FANTASY MATCHUPS ISSUE!"

COVER STORY: How would the stars of today's FCBA do against the great fighters of the past in their primes? Our panel has the answers, starting with The Golden Goddess vs. Raquel Welch...a match our experts say Theron's length and iron will would win for the GOAT!

AMANDA vs. JAYNE! (Picture: Righetti in a red two-piece stares down Kennedy, circa 1978, in cream.) What would happen if today's dominant welter battled athletic tough-girl Jayne Kennedy in her prime? Our panel sees a knock down, drag out battle that would leave the lovely Ms. Kennedy standing...barely.

SCARRED JO! (Picture: Johansson in white stares down a 1979 Heather Thomas in blue.) We can't think of a much sexier battle that one between blondes Scarlett Johansson and Heather Thomas, but, who'd come out on top? Our panel thinks Heather would get the KO victory!

THE GREATEST ATHLETES! (Picture: Jessica Biel in Black stares down a 1980 Tracy Scoggins in forest green.) Jessica Biel is this generation's Tracy Scoggins, who, what would happen if the two athletic brunettes threw down? Our panel thinks even Tracy would come up short against Jessica!

FLIGHTS OF FLYWEIGHT FANCY! (Picture: Hayden stares down Cheryl Ladd, circa 1978, both in bright yellow bikinis.) What would happen if blonde flyweight actress/singers Cheryl Ladd and Hayden Panettiere met in the ring? Our panel thinks Ms. Ladd would have her moments, but Hayden would, as usual, come out on top!

BIG REDS! (Picture: Regan in sky blue faces off against Tina Louise in ivory.) Bridget Regan and Tina Louise, two tall, hard-hitting redheads! Who would be the last ginger standing? Our panel thinks it wouldn't be "Ginger"!

MARILYN VS. ELISHA! (Picture: Cuthbert in white stares down Marilyn, circa 1955, also in white.) Two gorgeous, curvy blondes. Two bikinis. Four gloves. One winner. And our panel says, while it wouldn't be easy, it WOULD be MM by KO!

MODEL MAYHEM! (Picture: Cheryl Tiegs, 1970, in white, faces off against Brooklyn Decker in yellow.) Any fan would love to see the first supermodel and famous SI cover girl Cheryl Tiegs battle one of today's most famous models and cover girls, Brooklyn Decker, and, while the disrobe alone would be worth the price of admission, our panel says the fight might be even better, and would end with Ms. Decker's hand raised!

GENRE QUEENS! (Picture: Erin Gray, circa 1980, in a green bikini stares at Joanne Kelly in black.) Gorgeous brunettes Erin Gray and Joanne Kelly were/are both hard-hitting big motor fighters, but, what would happen if the pair got together in their primes? Our panel things the whip-smart Erin would find a way to get the win!

GREAT WHITE NORTH! (Picture: McAdams in a pink bikini stares down Ann-Margret, circa 1966, in a hot pink number of her own.) Redheads Rachel McAdams of Canada and Ann-Margret of Sweden are the, um, polar opposite of cold, but, what would happen if they heated up a ring together? Out panel says that, while Rachel's skills would keep her in it, Ann's physicality would win the day!

WONDER WOMEN! (Picture: Palicki and Carter, circa 1976, stare one another down in costume.) The battle of the Wonder Women. Lynda Carter vs. Adrianne Palicki. One for the ages, says our panel, but, a look into their crystal ball shows a chin-checked Lynda ending the fight KOed at Adrianne's feet!

SUZANNE VS. NATALIE! (Picture: Somers circa 1976 stares at Dormer, who looks back with a smirk.) The pair of blonde bantams would make a super fight, says our panel of experts, which also believes Somers' physicality would cause problems for Natalie, but wouldn't be enough to overcome Dormer's determination and mean streak!

ANGEL FACES FOR THE AGES! (Picture: Minka in red, stares down a 1977 Jaclyn in blue.) Jaclyn Smith and Minka Kelly, two lovely brunette "Angels". But, who would come out on top if they climbed into the ring together? Our panel thinks Minka's skills would turn out to be the more "angelic" of the pair!

JESSIE VS. JEANNIE (Picture: Simpson in white stares down a 1965 Barbara Eden in "Jeannie" costume.) Two busty, curvy blondes in a "Dream" match that our panel would love to see, and, while they predict Jessica's power would give Barbara problems, they think the "Jeannie" magic would ultimately prevail!

JMDD'S! (Picture: Mansfield circa 1958 in white, stares at Hendricks in green.) Jayne Mansfield. Christina Hendricks. Add water. Sit back and watch jug-mugging mayhem! And, in the end, who (whose) would prove superior? Our panel envisions a finished Christina at Jayne's well-manicured feet!

WITCHCRAFT! (Picture: A 1972 Carly Simon in blue faces off against Helfer in white.) Exotic Carly Simon set the mould for rangy, slick-boxing lights with dangerous power and our panel thinks a match up with Tricia Helfer would be a classic, one that Helfer's more modern sorcery would win!

BRUNETTE BEAUTIES! (Picture: Lima in black stares at a 1978 Shelton in deep blue.) There aren't too many sexier match ups imaginable than Adriana Lima and Deborah Shelton, and, while our panel thinks it would be a great fight, it also sees Miss USA stopping the Brazilian bombshell!

NATALIE VS. JANE (Picture: Portman in gold, 1974 Seymour in light pink.) Classy, skilled flyweights Natalie Portman and Jane Seymour would put on a terrific fight, and our panel says, despite all her ring smarts and precision, Ms. Seymour would come up short against former champ Natalie!

KELLY VS. GEMMA! (Picture: Arterton in violet locks eyes with LeBrock in red.) Two gorgeous, curvy English brunette lights trading heavy leather is also the stuff of our panel's dreams, and, while it believes this would be an excellent fight, it also sees the lovely Ms. LeBrock getting her hand raised!

WELTER WAR! (Picture: Freeman in green and gray stripes faces off against a 1978 Anton in gold sequins.) Susan Anton. Cassidy Freeman. Ring the bell and let the welter war begin. Our panel would love to do just that, and is confident that, if it could, Anton's size and power would prove a little too much for the current welter queen!

BATTLE OF THE BODIES! (Picture: A 1958 Loren, in black, stares down Upton in white.) Imagine it. Fantasize about it. Kate Upton and Sophia Loren. In bikinis. In a ring (or on a beach, on a carpet, in a sauna, in a mud pit...but, we digress.) Toe to toe. Rack to rack. And, when it was all over? Our panel sees Kate on her back and Sophia, lovely face wearing that patented sneer, staring down at her!

ALSO: BLAST FROM THE FUTURE!: Jessica Lowndes on how she'd match up with the great flyweights of the past! (Hint: Lowndes doesn't think she'd do much losing.) BLAST FROM THE PAST: SOPHIA SPEAKS!: Ms. Loren talks fantasy match ups, including Upton ("I beat Mansfield. I'd beat her.) and her 50s and 60s wars in the ring, on the carpets, and on the sand! AND: THE GREATEST PLAYMATE OF ALL TIME!: Hugh Hefner stops by to tell us why redhead Claudia Jennings is still the best Playboy ever produced!
