I don’t think it would have been bad. It was nicely hyped. It’s still a big what if.

Broners proposed fight with Gary Sykes would of been a complete mismatch

What about Broner vs. Burns couple years back? I know it was never announced, but was heavily talked about for a short while.

I think Burns is/was tough enough to stay with Broner

Danny Williams vs Frans Botha was scheduled for the WBU or WBF in Kampala a few years back - I wrote an article previewing it for an East African GQ type magazine. The funding fell apart then they tried again in Egypt a couple of years later when they were both utterly shot...

Leonard Jr V Hagler Jr.

Thank nature that never happened.

Two fat past their physical primes sons of 2 legends supposedly settling a 30 year old score.

I never realised / forgot that Mayweather vs DLH 2 was supposedly a done deal after DLH was to fight Forbes. Watch the US Telecast of Calzaghe vs Hopkins and they talk about Mayweather vs DLH 2 like it was happening... well given how DLH fought in his fight post Steve Forbes - then that would have also been painful viewing considering the first fight was so close.

Another one wasn't Fernando Vargas scheduled for fight someone about 3-4 years ago... and he looked in woeful shape in all of the hype up moments.

Yeah the Forbes fight was grim viewing! Wasn't it meant to be DLH v May 2 then it ended up Pac?

Oh yes, I had forgotten all about that travesty, presumably their families had a word and put a stop to it...

Yes, clearly showing signs of being shot there... most thought it was down to him being undermotivated - but then Pac destroyed him. I would have hated for Mayweather to do the same, given the closeness of fight 1.

Definitely mate. Hard to believe that was 10 years ago now since Pac dismantled DLH. I tipped Pac for the stoppage in that actually! One of my few correct predictions

Looking back the Mayweather fight was DLHs last stand.

Collins V Benn 3 - They 'threatened' to fight at the back end of last year, but as of yet, it hasn't happened & I hope it's dead in the water.

What an utter embarrassment it would have been to watch two men who are closer to death than birth resurrecting a long forgotten rivalry from 2 decades ago.

Not too sure about this.. Although it was a homecoming fight, I had a feeling it was going to be boring.

The fight he had instead of this was just as boring.

The more recent Oliver McCall fight which was cancelled. Who would actually watch that..

Briggs vs. Wlad..

Although it would have just been a one-sided beating like Vitali-Briggs.

Leonard vs Hearns 2 was still one of the fights of 1989.

And one of the worst decisions of 1989
