What is the fight that could have been made but didn't that you most wanted to see??

What fights that never happened that should have? Which non-fights do you, as a fan, wish actually took place?

Here are some examples...what others are there?

Salvador Sanchez - Esubio Pedroza
Lupe Pintor - Jeff Chandler
Larry Holmes - Pinklon Thomas (before the years of drug abuse totally ruined Thomas)
Azumah Nelson - Barry McGuigan

 

Riddick Bowe-Lennox Lewis

 

Good one! :bears:

 

Lewis vs Bowe

 

Who do you pick in a Pedroza-Sanchez matchup?

 

Great minds!

I'll like to add:

Nigel Benn - Roy Jones
James Toney- Chris Eubank

 

Roy Jones-Darius Michalczewski: I blame both of them.

In the late 80s or early 90s, Foreman against Tyson.

I've heard stories about how Cus told Mike that a come-forward slugger is tailor made for Foreman, and how Tyson knew that Foreman was a better fighter and meaner guy than people thought, supposedly Tyson wanted no part of him. Who knows if it's true, really? But then whenever I see fights of old Foreman I see how slow and hittable he is and think Tyson would've brutalized him.

Still, it would've been a mega, mega event with a crazy atmosphere and I wouldn't totally dismiss George's chances.

 

I was never one that was interested in a Foreman Tyson in the late 80s. Always seemed like a ridiculous mismatch to me...with Foreman likely getting badly hurt.

That old slow Fat Foreman would have been no match for Tyson.

 

jones-dm
jones-benn
jones-eubank
hamed-junior jones
hopkins-toney
tyson-lewis 96
tyson-holyfield 91
bowe-lewis
hagler-leonard II
hagler-hearns II
duran-mccallum
whitaker-rosario

 

Hagler's lucky he retired before having to face Michael Nunn.

Nunn would've embarrased him in the late 80s IMO...

 

Tyson-Bowe.

 

yep

 

For sheer entertainment value:

Tyson-Tua

 

Jones vs. McClellan

 

How about Sanchez / Arguello ....

 

Mosley-Trinidad 2000 or 2001. Probably at 154, I would have liked to have seen Tito brutalize Mosley so he wouldn't be so overrated these days. I mean Vernon Forrest did it already and people still do it.

 

Pryor vs Duran or Pryor vs Leonard


REED

 

I really wanted to see McCullough-Tapia, for some reason I thought that'd be great. Mosley-Trinidad in 2001 really should have happened as well. I know one or two around here remember how many arguments that woulda settled!::

 

hell yes:bears:

 

Mosley would have beaten him.::

 

No.

Yeah, and arguably 5 because he was given a gift in the second Oscar fight.

Zab Judah is another guy with 5 losses.

Overrated. :clap:

 

Benn & Eubank wanted NO parts of RJ & Toney. In fact, didnt Eubank openly admit he wanted no parts of Roy?

 

Quartey vs Trinidad in the mid 90's is a fight that woulda been awesome.

 

word.

 

If Forrest had thrown those punches through treakle or some sort of thick irish stew would they have landed on Shane? Neither would Tito's. :laughing:

 

wtf? :notallthere:

 

true, but Jones-Benn still woulda been fun.
