    Great Fights that should have happen but didnt.

    There are so many fights throughout history that should have happen but didnt. Too many to make a pole. What fights through out the HISTORY of boxing should have happen and did NOT!

    Ill go and say one of the fights i really wanted to see was around 96....Tyson and Tua! Both in prime and on KO streaks....Dont know how long it would have lasted but i know it would have been bombs thumping in that ring until some one went down for the count! What are some More?

              There were a ton of good middleweight matchups in the early 90s that never came to fruition. I think Don King's presence and hold over certain fighters played a big part in that. Just look at The Ring's Top 10.

                Prolly cuz he had around 15 or so title defenses. Left the weighclass unbeaten. off the top of my head, beat fighters such as Camacho, Campas (undefeated), Carr (undefeated), Whitaker (agree a bit old) & DLH (Undefeated -controversial decision but still got the WIN).

                Quartey was beaten by Oscar prior to the Fight of the Millenium bout. Tito moved up to 154 immediately after the DLH fight. Also, Mosley I think was either still at lightweight or just moved to 147 when Tito decided to move up. Cant remember exactly.

                I wanted to see the Tito vs Mosley fight after Mosley beat DLH. Hoping Tito would come back down.

                  The Tito-Quartey bout didn't happen because of Ike pulling out, which resulted in a lawsuit, as shown in the link I posted above.

                    Honestly

                    Lennox Lewis Vitali Klithscko 2


                    I really really think that if Lennox knew how dominant Vitali would end up becoming he would have taken the rematch to push into the coveted top 3-5 HW of all times list.



                    A old Lennox coming back at 39 to beat prime Vitali will definitely make him top 5.

                    And I believe with all my heart a fully motivated even old and faded 39 year old Lennox can still beat prime Vitali.

                    Lennox Lewis just have a different heart there's no denying it. Lennox's heart to me is every bit as big as Joe Frazier's but he rarely had the chance to display it.

                    I think old 39 year old Lennox should have rematch Vitali in London England and after beating Prime Vitali in London that will be British Boxing's greatest moment. He would have walked off into the sunset to chants of Lewis lewis by adoring English fans,

                    instead of listening to these god damn ****ing ignorant ******* deserve to die ****ers at staples.

                    I will wish death upon every person at Staples, 99% of these idiots don't know **** about boxing or Lennox and was just there to watch Lennox lose because he knocked the **** out of their hero druggie RAPIST Mike.

                    AND LENNOX STILL WON

                    These idiots at STaples quieted down considerably though when Lennox educated these morons and LARRY on the state of Vitali's face.
