Fights that didn't happen but should have

Kostya Tszyu vs Felix Trinidad.

JM Lopez vs. Gamboa Khan vs. Bradley JMM vs. Morales Hamed vs. Espinosa TBE (not The Best Ever) vs. Margarito, PWill Lewis vs. Wlad RJJ vs. Michalczewski Inoue vs. Chocolatito Donaire vs. Chris John, Moreno, Wonjongkam

M Tyson vs Tua SRL vs Pryor May vs P Williams McClellan vs RJJ

Leonard vs Pryor Lewis vs bowe Marquez vs morales Salvador Sanchez vs Eusebio Pedroza These fights were naturals to make and would have been classics

I think Lomachenko and Mikey was a fight that should have happened the most. At least when it comes to fights that should have happened in the recent 5 years...

Low-key example, but Joe Smith Jr. vs Seanie Monaghan in the aftermath of Smith's win over Hopkins. Not because it would have been a particularly great matchup (Smith would have won easily) but because it could have been very profitable for everyone involved. Two guys who were extremely popular in New York at the time, in the same division, Smith was 23-1 coming off a huge, huge win and Monaghan was still unbeaten and probably looking to either step up, and there even would have been the WBC international belt on the line. It would have been a license to print money for anyone who put that fight together. Instead Smith fought Sullivan Barrera and Monaghan fought Marcus Browne in their next fights, both guys got beat and a golden goose matchup went up in smoke. Smith has managed to recover with wins over Jesse Hart plus the recent KO of Eleider Alvarez after another loss to Bivol but Monaghan has lost 3 of his last 4 now, with 2 of those by stoppage, so is probably done, meaning that a fight between him and Smith is pointless now. I just can't believe they never tried to make it in 2017. They must have known it would have made great money, they probably would have filled MSG or the Barclays Centre, plus any promoter worth a damn would have known that both guys were limited and would lose eventually, especially to skilled guys like Browne and Barrera. Why did they not strike while the iron was hot? I'll never understand. I feel ya, Smith beating Hopkins should've been the start to something good but instead he gets sent in against Barrera, a high risk/low reward kinda fight.

PAC vs Edwin Valero This damn. Valero vs all the Mexican greats of the era would have been awesome too. Also Morales vs Marquez

Oscar de la Hova vs Jose Luis Lopez Oscar de la Hoya vs Kostya Tszyu Felix Trinidad vs Shane Mosely Felix Trinidad vs Ike Quartey Morales vs Marquez

george foreman - larry holmes they are the exact same age, same division and their careers were very long. jack dempsey - harry greb lesser fighters got the opportunity. khaosai galaxy - jiro watanabe galaxy was watanabe's mandatory but he dropped the belt. galaxy went on to defend his title 19 times but he never got the opportunity to unify and, at the same time, to become the lineal champion. tommy hearns - mike mccallum the winner of this fight would be the best super welter ever. it would be a very important fight. those were all makeable fights.

Hopkins vs Jones Jr. Rematch Ward vs GGG GGG vs Canelo ( after Cotto) Brook vs Con Thurman vs Spence Marquez vs Morales

At least GGG/Ward would have been a good fight. Bute would have gotten dominated by both. Bute would have been a good fight at the time to go on Ward Resume. But Bute was the definition of hypejob. He would have got slaughtered by both

bhop zaggy II

Trinidad-ike Tito-margarito Pacman-valero

At least GGG/Ward would have been a good fight. Bute would have gotten dominated by both. - -Ever fight Wart has been in he's been an ugly, fouling stinker even worse than Popkins whom he ducked. Alway whining about JoyBoyFloyd making 20x his peanut purses. Bottom line is he wouldn't compromise wt at 164 because if his inner sissy.

Yeah a few thick headed rtards. You cant fix stupid. At least GGG/Ward would have been a good fight. Bute would have gotten dominated by both.

RJJ/Toney at HW or CW. ****, even at LHW.

Andre Ward vs. Bute. Easy fight for Ward but would shut up some haters.... Dude was KO'd by ggg with headgear and big gloves. People are still talking about that? I figured the clamour was gone after Froch exposed him and Pascal walked him down.

Lomachenko/Garcia Lewis/Bowe Mayweather/Williams

Hopkins vs Pacquiao I never really thought about that one. I always thought Bhop was a bit too heavy for Pac but intriguing nonetheless

A lot of good mentions. Vernon Forrest vs any of the top WW and SWW at the time Mayorga vs Margarito Williams vs Mayweather
