    ...in that was either scheduled and fell through to never be re-matched or never even materialized between two contemporaries?


    for me it was Tony Ayala Jr. vs Roberto Duran

    In 1996- Morrison vs Tyson at that time would have been the highest grossing dollar fight in history, yes White skin draws a LOT of money, as ****ey would confirm..

    Then Morrison tested positive for the virus that would eventually kill him, and it all goes out the window...

    Tyson goes on to blast out Seldon in a fight that screams fix, and Morrison's career is done...:-(

    I even bought a ticket for that one, only to be refunded automatically when it was cancelled. Guzman - what a wasted talent!

    Yes I believe that Seldon laid down in his fight against Tyson.....Took his check and said I'm outta here.

    That whole MAPS card was too good to be true. Con man Harold Rosefields Smith using embezzled Wells Fargo Bank money.

    Also Saad Muhammad v. Michael Spinks would have been good. Saad deserved a title unification fight as such a long standing champion.
