    McClellan vs Pazienza

    would have been mismatches in the 90's. Probably Mugabi and Jackson as well, "The Beast" was used up after the brutal Hagler fight.

    Norris vs Chavez was almost made if not for Norris being knocked out and DQ'd.

    Moorer vs Morrison would've been a good brawl.

            It wasn't a dream match then but Calzaghe (who fought Eubank) vs Hopkins (who fought Johnson) in 1997 would've probably been a very entertaining fight (unlike the 2008 version).

              Besides those mentioned I can off the top my head name these:

              Ottke-Calzaghe
              Holyfield-Tyson (should have been earlier)
              Nunn-Leonard

                Sometimes mismatches make for great fights and great upsets, go and watch dougals/tyson, sanchez/nelson, lloyd honeyghan vs don curry, Holyfield vs Tyson 1 if you want proof

                  Jones vs DM and Bowe vs Lennox are clearly the top two of that era.

                  Also, it wouldn't be a good fight, but I would have liked to seen DLH vs Leonard. It would have been a beatdown, but I'd much rather see it then Leonard vs Camacho.

                    Got to agree with you there, it was gonna happen, but camacho didnt get the script and give ray a beatdown. It would of been a true icon vs Icon Match, a bit like hogan vs Rock at wrestlemania 18
