What In Your Opinion Is The Best Fight That Could Of Happened But Never Did?

[F l i c k e r]

Marciano-Ali

[Jim Jeffries]

Marciano/Patterson maybe 57 after Rocky takes a tuneup first.

Rid**** Bowe/Lennox Lewis mid 93 or 95.

Mayweather Jr/Mosley at 135, late 1998, early 1999.

Hagler/Leonard II in an 18ft ring, with 8 oz gloves late 87.

Hagler/Michael Nunn late 1988, if Marvin hadn't retired.

Tyson/Foreman early 1990, instead of Douglas.

Tyson/Holyfield early 1990, instead of Douglas.

Holmes/Foreman 1978, if George hadn't retired.

I'd have to say Herol Graham vs Miss.Marvis Hagler.Graham was a well respected fighter who had already been avoided by the big names as a junior middleweight.Graham eventually moved up a division and worked his way into the position as Hagler's mandatory for his WBA championship belt.Hagler,who had no problem in defending his title's against undeserving mandatory challengers in the past,even when they had already been beaten decisively by Hagler,wanted nothing to do with Graham deliberately sat out the entire year before signing to fight a washed up,inactive welterweight in (the real) Sugar Ray Leonard.



It would have been interesting to see how Joe frazier matched up against other big punches besides George foreman.It would have told us how frazier's suspect chin did hold up against a big puncher,that perhaps the foreman fight was simply foreman himself.Unfortunately,we never did see this as frazier was content on fighting hand picked opponents and ducking any ranked big puncher who may crack his glass jaw.

Do you have a link for fighters rankings with the various sanctioning bodies for that time period?

Thought Mugabi was the mandatory?

Had Marciano not retired early, a fight vs Liston would have quite possibly been on the cards.. Had this been the case, I'm not sure where Floyd Patterson would have fitted in.. Maybe he would have become Lhwt champ instead..

Dunno Mike you'd be looking at around 1958, I reckon which would put Marciano around 35 which would be a bit old for his style of fighter.
Marciano Patterson would have been possible though.
