    What are some matchups involving current fighters that for whatever reason, you don't expect to ever get made. Here's ones that come to mind:

    Canelo vs. Benavidez
    Crawford vs. Boots
    Fundora vs. Ortiz
    Stevenson vs. Tank
    Haney vs. Teo

    Larry Holmes vs George Foreman

    "The Geezers at Caesars" never materialized during the height of both comebacks.

    Benavidez vs Bivol is a good call! Man would love to see that fight. But dammit have to agree it's one that will probably never get made.

    I'll be pleasantly surprised if it happens but just think Ortiz will find a way not to.

    Fundora is more likely to avoid ortiz. He mostly faces haymon fighters
