Trinidad/Quartey
Trinidad/Delahoya II at 154
Tyson/Tua
Jones/Michalczewski
Jones/Hopkins II
My favorite all-time fight I would of love to see is prime Duran against prime Chavez. Now that would of been one hell of a war.
Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman II
wtf no one wants to c that lol.
we'll c the greatest own foreman again. foreman said himself
"you kno after u lose to sum1 u say, ' i wana get back at him, i want a rematch'. after i lost to him, i said 'there no way im getting back in the ring with him'. lol
pacquio hamed, morales hamed
i would love to c tito ouma.
bowe lewis for sure, bowe tysoon for sure
ibeabuchi lewis, and ibeabuchi vs tyson WOULD BE HUGE
Heavyweight :boxing: Iron Mike Tyson - Big Daddy Riddick Bowe
Light Heavyweight :boxing: Roy Jones Jr - Tiger Dariusz Michalczewski
agreed.
i think bowe would have won. tyson cant take people who dont back down from bullies like him (i.e. lennox lewis, especially evander holyfield, danny williams).
as for jones/michalczewski: either jones by UD or the tiger by TKO.
Norris vs. De La Hoya - Norris got upset by someone, cant recall who, in tune-up for that fight.
Trinidad-Quartey - Trinidad had contract issues, Quartey signs to fight Oscar not too long after that.
Tyson-Holyfield in early 90s - Tyson goes to jail for rape.
Keith Mullings upset Norris. Arum had just taken him away from King. He's planning this huge Norris/DLH showdown and puts Norris on the undercard of DLH/Rivera and Norris goes out and gets his ass kicked up and down the ring.
Norris vs. De La Hoya - Norris got upset by someone, cant recall who, in tune-up for that fight.
Trinidad-Quartey - Trinidad had contract issues, Quartey signs to fight Oscar not too long after that.
Tyson-Holyfield in early 90s - Tyson goes to jail for rape.
Biggest fights that never happen for one reason or another.
Salvador Sanchez vs Eusubio Pedroza
Two legit all time greats at 126 fighting at the exact same time both right in the middle of there prime. Fight didn't happen because of Sanchez early death.
Larry Holmes vs George Foreman
Two all time great heavyweights. Fight didn't happen because Foreman chose to retire early after finding god. This fight coulda happen in the late 70's early 80's.
Lennox Lewis vs Ridick Bowe
Two of the most talented heavyweights of all time fighting at the same time. Fight didn't happen because Bowe and his people didn't want it to happen also didn't happen because Bowe couldn't stay away from McDonalds.
Rocky Marciano vs Floyd Paterson
Again two legit all time great heavyweights. Marciano the dominate champion at the time Paterson was coming up making big noise. Fight didn't happen because Marciano wanted to go out on top.
Ricardo Lopez vs Micheal Carbajal
The two best little guys of this era and maybe the greatest little guy of all time(Lopez). Fight didn't happen because of the King/Arum thing.
I'll say it before the usual suspects come to this thread and say it, but I do mean it:
A matchup that would generate legitimate interest in the heavyweight division would be Wladimir Klitscko vs. Vitali Klitschko. Won't happen, though, they've both vowed. If the two loving brothers have a falling out, though, this is a big PPV and they could probably sell the press conference for 9.95, too...
Thread title is "biggest fight that never happen" - didn't know if that meant the "biggest fight that will never happen" or the "biggest fan that never happened"
Obviously, I don't think anything involving a Klitschko would be "Biggest"
I think Jones Jr.-Hopkins II would have been the non-heavyweight equivalent to Lewis-Tyson or Holyfield-Tyson had it happened a few years back...
