    I thought Clottey won it but he gave the championship rounds away simply by letting Cotto work. Then against Pac-Man, he hardly let punches go and seemed content with a shutout loss.

    I'd like to see Hatton vs Judah..... Again, neither man's career is any the lesser for not fighting the other.

    I think Hatton needs to beat the dog out of him and might need 11,12 rounds to do it.

    Hatton is cut, hurt and maybe dropped.

    I just want to see how a pressure guy who lacks Tszyus one shot power and radar copes with a common opponent.

    Judah had the physical talent to beat Hatton, but not the mental toughness to do so.

    Hatton would have won.

    Ingle vs Paul Hodkinson would have been good.

    Esparragoza vs Fenech is the best fight to never happen IMO

    One of the best matchups of the 80s that could have happened.

    I doubt Esparragoza could have handled Fenech. I think you need be a great to beat prime Fenech, and Esparragoza fell into the "very good" category.

    If not an all time great, you would at least need other-worldly power to beat Fenech, like a Lil Red or Hamed.

    Esparragoza was a good puncher, but certainly not a Lil Red or Hamed type puncher.
