    The most obvious example currently is Mayweather-Pacquiao, another one is Lewis-Bowe in the pros. I saw BWJ's post in Xplosives other thread about Sanchez-Pedroza, another good one. What are some other fights that really should have happened but didn't? I will throw in Morales-Marquez and Frazier-Norton.

    Agreed. In retrospect Floyd would have always been too skilled and too clever, but I always wanted to see them fight when they were both prime.

    One fight I wish happened is Duran Vs Chavez, to put a stop to the mencap overrating of Chavez that goes on. Duran would have slapped him around like a red headed burrito salesman.

    Maybe not from a pure boxing standpoint, but a Tyson-Foreman fight in the early 90s would have been HUGE in terms of money and mainstream attention.
