Which fights did you want to see happen but didn't
mine are
earnie shavers VS foreman (a shorty and violent match, guaranteed KO!)
ali Vs foreman rematch
foreman Vs tyson
i never knew that he never fought again.
yeah, he walked all over phillips. it was insane. almost forgot about that fight.
i wish i could have seen his fight with jose luis lopez -i think that his name, its been awhile since hes fought-, they say they went to war and lopez even dropped quartey and some/many felt lopez should have won the title but quartey got the decision.
Lopez scored a flash knock down in the second round, when Quartey's glove barely touched the ground. He scored another one in the 11th when Quartey was tiring. That one was legit and Quartey was in some trouble. Other than that the fight was all Quartey. He put on a jab clinic in that fight. He was declared the winner at first, but than they said that the cards were not added right. And it was declared a draw. I taught Ike won the fight easily.
i have a contact in the fight game who has told me that forrest may have used steroids for a period of time which allowed him to bulk up a little bit and move up to 147. i looked into it and it actually seems very logical. i saw some early fights of forrest and he looked very, very skinny. he may have grown into his body but he was a large man when he fought mosley.
anyways, just an interestind tidbit for you.
yeah, i too remember him being a skinny jr. welterweight, but who knows, either way steriods doesn't help a fighter, but i've also heard this about mosley that he uses steriods and just before the fight he goes off the roids so his piss can be clean when test after the fight.
I too think Taylor will beat Wright. And nobody has a better jab than Quartey. Quartey looked great against Espana (Espana never fought again) but what he did to poor Vince Phillips was brutal.

i really want to see forrest - delahoya. forrest is one of the nice guys of the sport that i truly admire. it would be nice to see him recieve a huge payday, especially because of his charity work with the tsunami and hurricane katrina.
i never liked how he fights. he was a jr. welterweight then went up in weight, he can probably even make middleweight. his fight with vince phillips was a disappointment. but i would like to see him fight quartey should be a good fight.
i think quarteys title fight when he beat espana was a great showing, he looked baddass in that fight, not to say he didn't in others but thats the fight i remember him in that caught my attention. him and trinidad would have been WAR!
changing the subject, i would really like to see mosley v. quarty or winky v. quartey, you know i belive taylor will beat winky so winky will can go down in weight and get a fight with quartey, i just want to see somone beat winky at his own game and winkys jab is not better then quarteys.

Would of happened too. It was actually signed. But Trinidad than got into legal dispute with King and it never happened.

i have thought of a few more:
carbajal - lopez
kalambay - benn
hearns - mugabi
jackson - toney
i know their was talk of lopez v. chiquita -would have been great- but then some bullshit happened, but it would have been great fight.
