    I didn't know there was any issues between those two.... though I could imagine Buffer to be a bit of a diva :lol:

    I'd take Lennon any day of the week, top notch.

    I've made some serious suggestions, so, if I may:

    Ahem, Cristian Mijares-Tomas Rojas.

    I'd be more than happy to give an explanation, if anyone cared to actually know.:lol:

    I think an interesting pick for me, would be rivalries that never got sorted in the ring. The fights I personally really wanted to see, but never got my wishes;
    Hatton v Witter
    Froch v Calzaghe
    Pac v Mayweather (can't ever see this fight coming to fruition)

    The rivalries I most think of and one's are meaningful to me;
    Ray Robinson v LaMotta
    Mac Schmeling v Joe Louis
    Pac v JMM

    Notable mentions go to;
    Gatti V Ward
    MAB v Moralles

    I also like the Junior Jones/Kennedy Mckinney rivalry. Not really a well know one, but Kennedy beat Junior for a place in the 1988 Olympics, which Mckinney eventually won gold in. When they met in the pro's, there was already animosity between the 2. Mckinney trash talked a lot before their fight, and you could tell that Junior wanted revenge for the Olympic loss. Their fight, like many rivals, was a back and forth war which Mckinney won but not without taking a beating for 3 rounds. Junior came very, very close to stopping Mckinney in round 3, but punched himself out and was knocked out in the very next round.

    On his birthday.

    That must have been a hard pill to swallow, losing to your Olympic rival on your birthday after coming to withing a hair of stopping him a round earlier.
