    Nonito Donaire vs Hozumi Hasegawa.

    Two of the best around the weight from the era, very exciting, contrasting fighters with great careers and cemented legacies. I would've loved to see them throw down.

    Lawrence Okolie vs Matty Askin

    The fight was made in the back end of 2018. Both fighters entered the ring but decided to snuggle for 36 minutes instead of fighting - rumour has it that they had a cheeky bum later that night...

    Uchiyama vs Miura 2 when both were champions. At least we got the first one. Still a real shame tho.
    Yaegashi/Taguchi/Kimura back in 2015 when they were all titlists at 108lbs. Shame none of them unified.

    Another good fight that has been in the making for ages now is is Moonsri vs Niyomtrong. But it will likely never happen.

    Can't forget about Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Juanma Lopez. Still a crying shame that Bob had to let that fight "marinate".

    Nigel Benn vs Julian Jackson
    James Toney vs Sumbu Kalambay
    Michael Nunn vs Mike McCallum

    Last time Dumbo. Show me where anyone came out & said Tony EVER tried to load his gloves or STFU
    When Tony decimated Cotto that was the fight everyone wanted to see but Mayweather didnt have the balls, as proven in that video:roto2gaydude::meparto::meparto::meparto:
    To keep repeating the same lies about a FIGHTER!! when your hero was proved a coward shows you are dragging the bottom of the barrel as you cannot find a legitimate excuse for the IV Kid :meparto::meparto:

    I dont hate him I just have absolutely no respect for him.
    He had the talent to be great but lacked the balls to use it
    so instead he became a cowardly diva
