That could have happened and in my opinion should have happened was Tyson-Tua. That would have been one hell of a fight. And this might surprise many fight fans but I see Tua winning this fight. They were both 5'10" tall. Tyson had a 1" reach advantage. Tua was never KO'd. Never even seriously hurt, to my knowledge. I couldn't believe it didn't happen but I think Tyson's team knew this was a bad match-up for him. The only fights Tua lost were to guys he couldn't get to. He even went 12 with Ibeabuchi, losing on points. And as we all know Ibeabuchi was a beast. Tuaman vs. Iron Mike would have been one for the ages. Which fight would you love to have seen that didn't happen?
calzaghe v ottke not for the purist but they were rival unbeaten champs for over 5 years with just the englidh channel seperating them
aaron pryor v any of the top names everyone of the day skipped him at light welter bar arguello he was so unorthodox but fun to watch duran v pryor would have been brilliant
I would have loved to see this. If anything, just to end two guys BOTH setting a record number of title defenses while in the same division (Which IMO, hurts both).
warren offered 1 million to ottke to fight in the uk v calzaghe from memory but ottke was already earning not far short of that for fighting gimmees and ottke was very active cramminhg in fights. IMO calzaghe would have won quite easily ottke work rate was so low /albeit he had tramendous feet
Stevenson vs Kovalev while both guys were prime .. for undisputed LHW champion.. boxing politics can be so frustrating
Pavlik vs. Williams Calzaghe vs. Froch Morales vs. Matthysse Golovkin vs. Pirog Williams vs. Canelo Margarito vs. Mayweather Marquez vs. Morales Ward vs. Gvozdyk
I'd put that in my top 3, Tua wanted Tyson. Pryor vs Ray Leonard Mosley vs Mayweather at 140 ( i blame mosley for moving UP during that time to face Winky etc) Mayweather vs PW--- PW called him out at 147...PBF conveniently retired, temporarily. Pacman vs PW Paul Called him out too! Pac vs Juan Diaz, Katsidis and Casamayor at LW....Pac would've drubbed them, but Arum controlled his puppet well. And dare I say Ann Wolfe vs Laila Ali. No other woman's fight intrigued me. Moorer vs Virgil Hill at LHW...Moorer couldn't control his weight had to move up. my #1 RJJ vs Gerald McCellan at SMW.
