5 Fights That Should Have Happened In The '90s or '00s

Golota vs. Morrison
Vitali Klitscho vs. Lennox rematch ( Lennox bitched out on )
Sergio Martinez vs. Mayweather ( Sergio would have smoked him )
Paul Williams vs. Mayweather
Margarito vs. Mayweather
PRIME Pacquiao vs. Mayweather ( 2009 or 2010 )

huh.... notice that Gayweather's name comes up in a lot of fights that should have happened

 

No one is claiming it was not a unification bout dumbass, Forrest was supposed to beat Mayorga quite easliy but got overconfident and got the surprise of his life. 6 to 1 odds in favor of Forrest , and yes campared to Mosley and DLH Mayorga was a sort of a tune up for most of us

 

You don't know what was in Vernon Forrest's mind, so STFU with pretending you know what he thought. What's the "Us" **** you post? You didn't know who the **** Mayorga was back then.

So, how about you just STFU, answer the topic. You don't need to act like a defensive little ***** in EVERY thread.

 

Tyson vs Tua

A HUGE fight that never happened

 

Lol Forrest even came rapping and singing into the ring he looked very confident, He knew Mayorga was was no Mosley not even close, what did Mayorga do after those wins? NOTHING, Forrest should've never lost that fight especially against someone as wide and open as Mayorga, just go and see how Spinks, Tito , DLH, Mosley and Cotto treated Mayorga , he was never at thier skill level.

 

Obviously they are not brothers but if their is a sufficient nexus it’s difficult. In my youth I was a top rugby player who had a reputation for putting in dominant hits and hurting the opposition. On the few occasions When I played against someone I knew like my former coach and an old boy from my school I could not do to him what I did to others without thinking or blinking.

 

OK.. that means what you want it to mean....

 

Floyd only loses in these hypothetical match ups. In real matchups he is undefeated.

 

What’s all this Gayweather crap? He is clearly not gay with the kids he has and the numerous girlfriends he has.

 

What are you talking about?
DLH-Trinidad was supposed to be this huge event. A fight to rival Arguello-Pryor and Chavez-Taylor.
A very highly anticipated fight turned into a stinker all due to DLH's evasion tactics.

DLH was highly criticized for playing it safe and running around the ring for long stretches without as much as an intent to throw punches.

Say what you want on who won or lost, but that criticism of DLH is reason enough for the fight to have happened again and because of it, it was guaranteed DLH would have had to have done more fighting .

For as much whining and crying that DLH and his fanboys did after losing the decision to Trinidad, you would have thought DLH would have offered Trinidad what he deserved for a rematch but Trinidad's performances in each of his fight all the way up to when he lost to Hopkins was nothing short of spectacular and served to keep DLH straight away from him.

At 147 lbs/154 lbs during that era, Trinidad and DLH was the top dogs not just in the division but the entire sport during that time, there is somewhat of a void in boxing history the fight wasn't re-done again.

 

Don't cry... you were just Gayweathered

 

I hear what you are saying but that’s the nature of sports the best must compete against the best

I don’t think it’s right that the fans didn’t get to see a great fight happen just because they grew up together

 

Mosley skipped 140 lbs to head right into 147 lbs because he seeked a money fight with DLH.

Trinidad fought DLH in September of 1999 and a week later Mosley made his debut at 147 lbs vs Rivera at 147 lbs.

Having struggled mightily to make weight for the DLH fight, Trinidad moved up to 154 lbs. In the meantime the DLH instead of seeking to avenge his loss to Trinidad, decides that the smaller Mosley was as big a name but a safer choice.

Again, Trinidad was ready for 160 lbs while Mosley was just entering 147 lbs.
Their paths never really crossed.
DLH was the cash cow of his era so when name fighters moved up in weight, they wanted the payday which is what Shane Mosley's move was when he entered 147 lbs.
