They don't have to huge fights just fights that you personally wished took place and they REALISTICALLY could have gone down but didn't. Here is some of mine. Roid vs DM Bowe vs Lewis Tyson vs Foreman Floyd vs Paco
Roy vs Hop at 168 catchweight back when both were undisputed champions. Would have been huge and I think Roy would have won via UD.
Pac-Floyd and Bowe-Lewis On a lesser scale I always wanted to see Paul Ingle - Wayne McCullough and Herbie Hide - Danny Williams.
Quite a few Trinidad vs Norris Mayweather vs Pacquiao Jones vs Michalczweski(To shut everyone up about it) Lewis vs Bowe Hamed vs Morales(Would have been a classic war with both in their primes at 122) Duran vs Pryor(Before my time but would have loved to see what that would have been like)
johnson vs tapia johnson vs arbachakov lopez vs carbajal tyson-bowe marquez vs hamed mosley vs nazarov tszyu vs mosley tszyu vs mayweather jr.
YES. When both were considered rivals for the P4P#1 spot, they should have fought at 154lbs or a catchweight.
Most of mine have already been named here. +1 on Hamed/Morales, that would've been epic. Going back a bit, SRR-Charley Burley, just to see if the hype was true.
Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto in 2008: Mayweather UD Thomas Hearns vs. Mike McCallum in the mid 80s Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield in 1991 Riddick Bowe vs. Lennox Lewis in 1993 George Foreman vs. Mike Tyson in the early 90s Roy Jones vs. Darius Michalczewski in the late 90s/early 00s: Jones UD Roberto Duran vs. Alexis Arguello in the late 70s: Duran by late TKO Roberto Duran vs. Aaron Pryor in 1981/82 at 150 (when it was offered): Duran by UD or late TKO Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Erik Morales in the early 2000s Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Naseem Hamed in 1999/00 There was a bunch of terrific matchups that we missed out on at middleweight in the early/mid 90s. The talent pool was deep, but it was shitty in terms of matchups. Just look at The Ring's top 10 for the end of 1992 and 1993. 1992: Title Vacant Julian Jackson James Toney Reggie Johnson Roy Jones Jr. Mike McCallum Sumbu Kalambay Gerald McClellan Lamar Parks Bernard Hopkins Thomas Tate 1993: Title Vacant Roy Jones Jr. Gerald McClellan John David Jackson Reggie Johnson Julian Jackson Thomas Tate Lamar Parks Bernard Hopkins Vinny Pazienza Otis Grant
Scratch Lamar Parks out of both years. He was HIV-positive back then, but he kept it a secret---possibly even from his own girlfriend to whom he may have given it.
