Well. What In Your Opinion Is The Best Fight That Could Of Happened But Never Did? So the fight actually could of happened at one point or another, but never did. SO I DON'T MEAN A FANTASY FIGHT!

And your only allowed one pick!

Carlos Monzon vs Bob Foster, for me. The fight was spoke about a few times, but never happened.

the rematch between sugar ray lenord and hagler

floyd vs tyszu
chris eubank vs b-hop
hamed vs jmm

Bobby Czyz vs Thomas Hearns

Ahhh......

Marcel Cerdan vs Henry Armstrong at 147lb.

Aaron Pryor vs Sugar Ray Leoard at a catchweight

118 pound unification battle between Jeff Chandler and Lupe Pintor.

It's hard to pick one but I would go with Salvador Sanchez vs Alexis Arguello. The fight many believe was going to happen but Sanchez died racing his Porshe in Mexico. Some say a rematch with Laporte was going to Be Salvador's next fight? Sanchez would have to skip the SFW division to have had fought Arguello at LW.

Wills v Dempsey. Wills deserved his shot and I think that Dempsey would have silenced his doubters if this fight would have happened

Tyson-Holyfield '92

Marciano-Ali

Marciano/Patterson maybe 57 after Rocky takes a tuneup first.

Riddick Bowe/Lennox Lewis mid 93 or 95.

Mayweather Jr/Mosley at 135, late 1998, early 1999.

Hagler/Leonard II in an 18ft ring, with 8 oz gloves late 87.

Hagler/Michael Nunn late 1988, if Marvin hadn't retired.

Tyson/Foreman early 1990, instead of Douglas.

Tyson/Holyfield early 1990, instead of Douglas.

Holmes/Foreman 1978, if George hadn't retired.

I'd have to say Herol Graham vs Miss.Marvis Hagler.Graham was a well respected fighter who had already been avoided by the big names as a junior middleweight.Graham eventually moved up a division and worked his way into the position as Hagler's mandatory for his WBA championship belt.Hagler,who had no problem in defending his title's against undeserving mandatory challengers in the past,even when they had already been beaten decisively by Hagler,wanted nothing to do with Graham deliberately sat out the entire year before signing to fight a washed up,inactive welterweight in (the real) Sugar Ray Leonard.



It would have been interesting to see how Joe frazier matched up against other big punches besides George foreman.It would have told us how frazier's suspect chin did hold up against a big puncher,that perhaps the foreman fight was simply foreman himself.Unfortunately,we never did see this as frazier was content on fighting hand picked opponents and ducking any ranked big puncher who may crack his glass jaw.

I have to lol at all the people posting more than one fight:rofl:

Do you have a link for fighters rankings with the various sanctioning bodies for that time period?

Chris Byrd vs. John Ruiz.

Thought Mugabi was the mandatory?

Had Marciano not retired early, a fight vs Liston would have quite possibly been on the cards.. Had this been the case, I'm not sure where Floyd Patterson would have fitted in.. Maybe he would have become Lhwt champ instead..

Dunno Mike you'd be looking at around 1958, I reckon which would put Marciano around 35 which would be a bit old for his style of fighter.
Marciano Patterson would have been possible though.

Roy Jones vs Benn, Eubank, Collins or McClellan

Pryor vs JCC

Don't you ever get sick of spamming the same bull**** and lies day after day? Have another ribbon.

Suppose i could be guilty of wishful thinking there, but when you take into account the controversy surrounding Liston's age, it may be that Marciano was only about 5 years his senior..

1. Tyson-Tua. Would have been World War III.

2. Trinidad-James Page. Tito would win but Page packed punch.

3. Naseem Hamed-Luisito Espinosa. Both had awkward styles, and a well-fed, well-conditioned Espinosa has always been able to adapt to any style in his prime.

4. Roy Jones-Gerald McClellan

Or younger lol.
No would have been some fight, one thing for sure Marciano would have gone in there unintimidated and fully prepared for a war. Liston certainly had the tools to beat Marciano but if the doubt that Liston was a bully who got found out if the other guy wasn't frightened was true, Marciano would have exposed him. Whilst everyone says fairly that Marciano's era was weak do think that he would have had the measure of everyone afterwards up to Liston.

Tyson would have had very little trouble taking care of David Tua.... Tyson won more than half his pro fights in the opening round, i see him KOing Tua round 1

Sugar Ray Robinson Vs Charley Burley


Nigel Benn / Chris Eubank Vs James Toney
Would of been a great fight that should of happened after Benn Vs Eubank 2

Pacquiao vs Mayweather

Monzon-Hagler
Ali-Foreman II

Pacquiao vs Mayweather

This fight will happen eventually, it has too lol.

Dela Hoya-Trinidad II around 2006, it would still be interesting, but Oscar didnt care a lot on his legacy, I would prefer this rematch more than seeing Pacquiao-DLH and Jones-Trinidad.

If I answer this thread correctly, it has to be Bowe Lewis..

Mayweather versus me. He always pretends he doesn't hear my threats through the television set. Lol. Running scared that punk.

tyson holyfield back when tyson was undefeated. also, i wish at some point mosley and trinidad woulda fought.

Tyson would have had very little trouble taking care of David Tua.... Tyson won more than half his pro fights in the opening round, i see him KOing Tua round 1

um...

Tyson is my fav. fighter of all time but you're joking right? KO of DAVID TUA in ROUND 1??? would have impressed the **** out of me...

Mike Tyson-Roy Jones...this fight was highly spoken of and i think there were even preliminary papers signed before Jones went back down to LHW to face Tarver. Imagine the ppv and live money on that one...

Camacho vs Whitaker

Tyson would have had very little trouble taking care of David Tua.... Tyson won more than half his pro fights in the opening round, i see him KOing Tua round 1

21 in 58 fights isn't more than half.

Tua had 16 of his own, including Ruiz and Moorer in under 30 seconds each.

Despite being in with big punchers like Lewis, Ibeabuchi, Rahman and Maskaev, please remind me how many times David was ever badly hurt?

Probably better odds of winning the lottery than Tyson KOing Tua in the 1st.

Mayweather (then 39-0) vs Cotto (then 31-0) in 2008, think about the hype of that superfight, with the boxers combined record of 70-0, or if Mayweather-Dela Hoya rematch in September that year took place. It would make boxing more exciting:

No Pacman demolition of the Golden Boy (Pac fights Humberto Soto instead)
Mayweather-Mosley will happen a year ago (following Mosley's win over Tony)
either Floyd or shane will fight Pacquiao now
