Did everyone really miss someone significant in their career while they were still prime?

Robinson missed Burley.

Dempsey missed Wills

Leonard missed Pryor

Lewis missed Bowe

Tyson missed Tua

Marciano missed Patterson


Does this list end with any champion who did not miss someone significant while they were still a threat?

Muhammad Ali?

Muhammad Ali?

In fact, he kept fighting the toughest guys over and over, as if he could never get enough of the brutal ways of Frazier and Norton. He not only fought them all, he fought them in timely fashion.

Foreman denied the great one another classic trilogy for the ages when he fell apart like an old woman, and could not collect himself for a rematch, let alone get himself into shape to win it, a necessary condition for a rubber match.

Marciano retired in '55, in 1955 Paterson was just entering the Heavyweight division from Lightheavy.
If you think Cus was going to match Floyd with The Rock your delusional!

Pernell missed Camacho

Regardless of reason, we never got the fight. I believe that was the point of the thread.

I can see Baker but not Valdes, Valdes would be in to deep against Marciano.

I know, I just wanted to point out the cowardice of Bowe.
