    Greatest Fights; That Never Happend

    With all the pacing that is happening between PBF and Hatton I have begun to wonder if it will ever actually happen or will it be like other fights that never materialized?

    I was wondering what are some of the Greatest matchups that never happend (They have to be contemporaries of each other, no fantasy Tyson vs Ali stuff?

    Here are a few I think are worthy.

    Chavez vs Duran
    Roy Jones vs Nigel Benn
    James Toney vs Hopkins at 168lbs
    Winky vs Hopkins
    Trinidad vs Ike Quartey

    What other fights that could've been but never were?

        Tyson vs Lewis in 1996. I think Tyson could have won.

          How about Tyson vs Holyfield 1990 after Holyfield won the belts from Douglas. I think Tyson would've overwhelmed Holyfield.

          Also Tyson vs Rid**** Bowe

            Okay...are we talking fights that could have physically taken place; but never did or mythical match-ups...becauuse Duran-Chavez was never a physical possibility given the times in which the both fought at 135.

                They could've fought but not at 135lbs. I was thinking circa '93 when Chavez was fighting at welterweight and Duran was an inflated middleweight. They were both still fighting at a high level and I think Duran could've easily cut 10-15lbs.

                Again I'm just giving fights that could've possibly happend. Just like Hopkins vs James Toney, as we all know Toney's weight issues wouldn't allow him to go down to 160lbs but Hopkins could've went up to 168lbs.
