Yeah Armstrong was shot by then though.

I wish we'd seen:

Hagler vs Monzon
Duran vs Pryor
Duran vs Chavez
Whitaker vs Mayweather
Ali vs Tyson
Leonard vs Whitaker

Ali-ForemanII
Leonard-HaglerII
Monzon-Hagler
Yeah I've always wondered what Ali-Foreman II would have been like. Very interesting what Ali's strategy would have been for that one.

Rather than Leonard-Hagler II, what about Leonard-Hagler around '82. How do you imagine that playing out? Mouthwatering!

This has to go down as the worst decision in Boxing history. Jones could have ignored Tarver, taken this fight (or much better, one with Holyfield) gotten knocked out, and everyone would have completely understood it and still heralded him as a great for even being able to get in there.

These are supposed to be dream fights that could have happened, you dumb bunnies. At what point did Ali and Tyson's careers intersect?



Lamotta vs Graziano

Tyson vs Tua

I would have sacrificed my left nut to have seen either of these.
