    5 Fights That Should Have Happened In The '90s or '00s

    5 fights that should have happened in the '90s or '00s and what weight class:

    (Not In Order)
    1. Rid**** Bowe vs Lennox Lewis (HW)
    2. James Toney vs Bernard Hopkins (Middleweight - 160)
    3. Felix Trinidad vs Shane Mosley (Welterweight - 147)
    4. Vernon Forrest vs Oscar De La Hoya (Welterweight - 147)
    5 Gerald McClellan vs Roy Jones (Middleweight - 160)

    There were TONS of fights that crossed my mind, the only criteria here is try to make it at a weight using 2 fighters that would have been competitive at the time (Example, I may have hypothetically wanted to see Sergio Martinez vs Saul Alvarez but I think by the time Canelo hit his prime, Sergio was too far into his twilight, so that fight didn't make it).
