I'll get the ball rolling with these three...
Hagler-Leonard, circa 1982 - Wasn't to be. How would it have turned out between the quicker, more elusive Leonard, & the bigger, fiercer Hagler? Each man was appreciably fresher than when they eventually met, five years down the line.
Castillo-Corrales III, circa 2006 - Signed, sealed, &...never delivered. Could Corrales have recovered from Castillo's domination of their second encounter?
Whitaker-Quartey, circa 1998 - Another signed fight which never eventuated. Whitaker was clearly the better man at Welter in his hey day, but he was on the slide at this time. Could the Quartey who would go on to hand De La Hoya one of his career-toughest battles pull it off?
