Big fights you'd like to see happen but probably won't

Hopkins v Wright - One for the hardcore. The kings of their respective divisions.

Mayorga v Margarito - I'd take this on PPV no worries. I honestly think these two have the combined potential to produce one of the most savage ring battles ever seen.

Hopkins - Wright may happen. Assuming Bernard comes through his next two fights, he'll be a big name star who will need big name opponents. Given that Winky's star is in the ascendency, it would be a natural match.

Naz v Pac Man

Tarver v Calzaghe

And it'd be nice to see Hatton in a real fight, but that's never gonna happen.

Wright or DLH vs Forrest would be interesting. Vernon is one fighter who has been forgotten about since his loss (and his last fight was very close). The guy is a freak (in terms of size) and is well schooled and fresher than both Light Middles. A very hard fight to score.

Mike Tyson vs Vitali Klitchko - never right off the chilling power of Tyson.

Antonio Tarver vs Lamon Brewester - for me this fight has to happen for any realistic chance for Roy vs Tarver III, which is now THE fight I want to see.

If that doesn't happen then I would love to see Danny Williams vs Brewester - I just think Brewester is possibly the most beatable champion (if you consider the WBO a champion) practically in Heavyweight history. Danny's not great, but I DO give him a shout against Brewester.

Tarver vs Jones III winner vs Klitchko vs Tyson winner - what an occasion.

Segio Martinez vs Shane Moseley - I strongly fancy the upset in this one.

Resondo Alaverez vs Mark Johnson - to old timers, but future Hall of famers no doubt.

Mayweather vs Tszyu - one great fight.

Gatti vs Hatton - simply because it seems like I am the only one on this board who tips the WBC champion.

Any fights involving Larinos/Guzman and Rafael Marquez.

If this thread was done in January I would have only said one match, and that one HAS HAPPENED - Pacquiao vs Marquez - so lets have a rematch.

Lewis - Bowe

Just for unfinished business sake, and at least Riddick would get a good payday to retire on.

Hatton-Gatti

Though it is more likely that hell freezes over

Floyd Mayweather Jnr said he wanted Naz after he beat Corrales. Now that'd be a fight! (If Naz were at his peak!)

RJJ vs Toney (2) ... that a fight that should have but probably won't happen....

DEFINATELY - HATTON V WITTER 2 quality fighters who hate each other and would be fighting for pride aswell.

Calzaghe v Tarver - could be a great fight and a huge occasion

Jermain Taylor v Hopkins - the heir vs the king - I think Taylor is special

Mayorga v Judah - Id like see Ricardo hunt Judah down and knock him out of the ring with punch that starts six foot away behind Mayorga's head

Cotto v Mayweather - if they cut out the posing, then it could be one for the purists - smooth as James bond double cream

Morales v Pacman v Chi - perm any two from three, not a backward step all night

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 18 May 2004, 08:43

Mark Hobson-Enzo Maccarinelli.
David Barnes-Jimmy Vincent
Herbie Hide-Danny Williams

Morales gives ground when he has to but Paquiao v Chi now that would be another huge collision. Might see it too.

Probably on Sky ppv.

Id like to see pacman v chi with mayorga as the referee. Be like the wild west.

Let's hope so. You can't whack a good domestic showdown. Enzo fights his imported stiffs, but Mark Hobson takes on Lee Swaby on Thursday week in a top-looking rematch. Hobson climbed off the floor twice to pip Swaby last time.

KOJOE90 · Post by **KOJOE90** » 18 May 2004, 12:46

Tyson V Tua, always wanted to see that fight

And just for kicks the BIGGEST fight of all

Nicolay Valuev V Butterbean.

hitman_hatton1 · Post by **hitman_hatton1** » 18 May 2004, 12:47

vitali vs toney - this would be a cracker

klitschko likes a fight and toney is a tough hombre who is scared of no one. bring it on

jones vs tarver 3 - was it a fluke or is tarver his bogeyman

we gotta have a rubber match. and can we c it next time please. :P

hopkins vs eastman - a brit fighting for the undisputed title

hatton vs zoo - a fascinating contest between youth and experience who will come out on top here.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 18 May 2004, 13:02

You may laugh, but a fight I wouldn't mind seeing is Vitali vs Samil Sam. I believe Sam would be affective at the highest level against non movers, and Vitali isn't the most graceful.

glittermonkey · Post by **glittermonkey** » 18 May 2004, 13:18

Hatton vs Mayweather (It'll never happen, but it's a decent mix of styles)
Morales vs Marquez
Martinez vs Vargas
Klitschko vs Toney
Witter vs Bami
Harrison vs Williams

I don't know if they all qualify for "probably never happen" but i'd like to see them.

E · Post by E » 18 May 2004, 17:43

Oh yeah Macarinelli - Haye, surely the most exciting matchup in the UK.

steve689 · Post by **steve689** » 19 May 2004, 03:35

Tyson V Tua - Both solid chinned bangers, bombs away!

Hatton V Witter - It has to happen, there is a real score to settle here IMO.

Pacquiao V Chi - An epic war and i really cannot pick a winner here.

Marquez V Barrera - They are good friends but still...let's get it on!

Green V Mundine - It's been brewing for ages now, enough talk, bang him out Danny

Sprott V Williams IIII - Ok i'll go now

I think Hatton vs any top 7 opponent is a virtual guarantee not to happen.
