Some Great Fights That Should Have Happened But Never Did

[Rover]

Laciar/Zapata II
Laciar/Chitalada

[Rover]

Briggs/Brewster

[Rover]

Cotto/Gatti in early 05. I'd have favored Miguel, but he wasn't the finished product yet; he'd just won the belt v. Pinto in September 04.

[Rover]

Spadafora/Castillo

[Rover]

Coggi/Murray in a title unification in 93. Would've been a lot better than that horse shit fight we got on the Ferguson/Mercer II PPV (Murray/Hooper).

[Rover]

Juarez/Raheem II (horrible reffing in the first fight)
Soto/Juarez II (loved their first one)

[Rover]

Briggs/Botha II

[Rover]

Cermeno/Zaragoza
Cermeno/Bungu
Cermeno/MAB

[Rover]

Hearns/Kalambay

[Rover]

Barkley/Roldan (after their respective losses to Kalambay and Hearns--winner to get another shot)

[Rover]

Starling/Breland III; this was scheduled for 4/15/89 on HBO but got scrapped due to a Starling injury.

[Rover]

Zarate/Lujan unification
Pintor/Lujan unification

[Rover]

Lora/Galaxy unification
Lora/Moon unification

[Rover]

Munoz/Montiel unification in 03 when both were still undefeated and Munoz was still a huge puncher.

Juarez/Raheem II (horrible reffing in the first fight)
Soto/Juarez II (loved their first one)

You ain't kidding about the horrible reffing. The officials bent over backwards to give that one to Juarez, the ref especially. For ther record I still think Raheem deserved it, even with all the BS point deductions

I had Rocky by a point (112-111, I think). The ref was the main problem.

[Rover]

Speaking of Raheem, how about a Freitas rematch? Both remained active after their first fight. (Raheem was KO'd by Funeka.)

[Rover]

Kalule/Benitez in 81 or 82. That would've been a purist's dream; lot of great technique displayed.

[Rover]

Maidana/Morales II

[Rover]

Julio/Cook II

[Rover]

Tapia/Chapo Vargas II
Chapo Vargas/Adan Vargas

[Rover]

Stevie Johnston v. Leavander Johnson. They beat Mitchell back-to-back in 94.

[AngryGoon38]

Bobick-Bugner (Would've been great for Duane to have avoided Norton and opted for Bugner instead).

Ibeabuchi-Tyson

Ike's last fight was in 99 v. Byrd; don't know exactly when he got arrested, but when should the Holy and Tyson fights have happened?
Mike got that suspension after the munchies incident in June 1997. Holyfield and Lewis tied up 99.
I guess you'd have preferred Holy/Ike instead of Holy/Bean and Tyson/Ike instead of Tyson/Botha; that is about the only time, given suspensions and arrests, that Mike and Ike could've fought.
