holmes vs foreman

foreman vs tyson

ali vs foreman rematch

leonard vs duran III

klitschko vs lewis rematch

klitschko vs klitschko

right now canelo vs GGG
i find it a joke that canelo competes for
a middle weight title yet refuses to fight
at its official weight limit.

would not have been even competitive in
my opinion. sven ottke had no business
being in a ring with prime joe.

Ottke was a long-standing World Champion, a unification was not beyond the realms of possiblity.

I was looking forward to Terry Norris vs Oscar de la Hoya, but Norris sadly unravelled over night.

For me, personally Bowe-Lewis was the biggest miss. The hype would be amazing, not to mention the fight

Those would've all been VERY interesting.

I would've love to see:

Roberto Duran vs Alexis Arguello/Wilfred Benitez/Antonio Cervantes in the 70s. Too bad it didn't happened. Did The Explosive Thin Man lost on purpose to Vilomar Fernandez, or was it a legit win by the Dominican?

In the 80s, we missed:
Jeff Chandler vs Lupe Pintor
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Aaron Pryor
Roberto Duran vs Aaron Pryor
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Marvelous Marvin Hagler in '82 instead of '87.
Eusebio Pedroza vs Salvador Sanchez

And Spinks/Saad and Mustafa/Saad II. Spinks and Saad vs Galindez. That's what I always tell people. It's not that everybody always fought everybody, there were just so many more quality fighters that it wasn't so glaring.

And why is that, King Carlos?

A recent one that passed us by. Doesn't seem as important now as it once was, but it would've been fun, and a big deal for Gamboa's career.

Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Juanma Lopez
