Fights that didn't happen?

Lewis v Bowe/Tyson v Bowe - Tyson v Foreman

[Autobarn]

Obvious recent ones, some covered already, Gamboa v JM Lopez & Donaire v Mares. The victor would’ve had a serious career boost.

As to Lennox v Bowe, who cares when Bowe had the Holyfield trilogy and Lennox faced just about everyone else of his era. Also, Lennox fared much better than Bowe did versus opponents his own size or bigger. Bowe had mixed results. Good versus Gonzalez and Donald and disastrous versus Golota. Think Lennox puts a bit too much snap on his punches for the lazier, more complacent but nonetheless very good on the inside Bowe. It’d be too huge men huffing and puffing like Lewis v Klitschko, it wouldn’t be graceful. But Lewis would not come in casual (like versus McCall and Rahman) and I’m certain he’d win in exciting fashion.

I would’ve loved to see Eubank v Julian Jackson at 160. Both won titles at that weight, in sensational fashion, in the same year. Jackson is the kind of opponent to bring the best out of Eubank. An aggressor and the greatest puncher, pound for pound, in the world. Don King, I believe, was at most of those Eubank cards. Did he have a piece of him? Eubank obviously outgrew 160 pretty fast -he was enormous for the weight and his performances had begun to suffer. But what a fight it would’ve been.

Jung Koo Chang and Myung Woo Yuh over in South Korea - Chang was WBC world light flyweight champion and Yuh was the WBA boss, and then for awhile Hi Sop Shin won the IBF strap, they could have all fornicating fought each other instead of fornicating around

This was back in the eighties, I think Chang would have beaten Yuh in a thriller...

I would have liked to have seen Cowdell vs McGuigan. That would have been an all right scrap, I know Nelson iced him in a round but Nelson would have probably iced Finbar in a round too.

Colin Jones vs Lloyd Honeygan - that would have been fun.

I would have liked to have seen Reeson vs McCrory, that would have been another fun fight up at cruiserweight.

Pat Clinton vs Dave McAuley at flyweight.

Yuh could've fought Carbajal and Gonzales also

True, but an all Korean superfight would have been good, I don't think Yuh would have stood much of a chance against either Carbajal or Gonzales (mind you, we had those two face each other... )

MMA/K-1 took off in a big way over there, a real shame, there is still some boxing over there but not much.

Yuh did face the outstanding and very dangerous Leo Gamez not once, but twice, in superb and fiercely competed contests and faced as many world title holders (former, future, current) as the legendary Chang.

I actually find that opinion almost objectionable, offensive.

Yuh was a brilliant fighter, with enormous stamina and fast hands.

Carbajal was deadly, as seen in the first with Gonzalez and the fight with Arce. But he could be easily outboxed, as seen in the two desperately disappointing rematches with his big rival when he just plodded forward all night. Apart from that he didn’t have too many impressive wins and was given a working over by Jake Matlala.

Gonzalez was a brutal little fighter, the closest to the second coming of Ruben Olivares. Yet, the two times he really beat the Living shit out of someone he was destroyed when they fought back - not only Carbajal but also unheralded Saman Sorjatorang.

Yuh, Gamez, Carbajal, Gonzalez we’re all special fighters. In different ways. Yuh had the long title reign. Gamez titles in multiple weights (4, notmatched in the tiny weights until Donaire and Roman Gonzalez). They had the rivalry with each other, too. Gonzalez and Carbajal had that amazing first fight together, the first million dollar tiny weight fight but they disappointed in subsequent showings.
