Fights that were signed but didn't happen

That would've been one helluva fight to watch. Why didn't it pop off? Hopkins pulled out, I think he wanted more money or was unhappy with the amount Don King was going to take. Same thing with him pulling out of the fight with Calzaghe back in this time. I don't find it a coincidence that post-Trinidad, under Don King, Hopkins didn't take part in any risky/big fights, and then started getting big PPV paydays once he left King. http://static.boxrec.com/wiki/a/a1/2003Oct.JPG

De La Hoya - Mayweather II would of been interesting at welterweight, wonder why Floyd walked away from an easy win puzzles me It was supposed to be @ 150. I remember at the press conference after the Forbes fight, Oscar was asked about the Mayweather rematch and he said it was going to be @ 150. I don't get the Mayweather "retirement" either when he was about to make huge money against a guy he already beat, and whom hadn't looked good in his last fight. I guess it was like Mosley-DLH 3 falling apart. Both Mosley and Floyd couldn't stand to be getting the smaller portion of the purse split against Oscar.

Mayorga - Thomas would of been great

Mayorga vs el perro

That was the Mosley who fought Cotto. He still had SOME of his legs left. He would have knocked Judah out in my opinion. Judah would have success early, but he tends to turn on his bicycle after taking shots. And Mosley's right hand would have a lot of success. But fights that were signed that didn't happen: Chico-Castillo III Bradley-Castillo Both of these fights failed to happen because Castillo pulled a Guzman (and the Bradley one was almost as bad as Guzman's because he came in at the WW limit lol). I think Castillo would have won the third fight with Chico, and Bradley would have boxed circles around him at that point and possibly stopped him late.
