    I'm not talking hypothetical fights here. More fights that could actually have happened. What have you got guys ? I'll start off with the possibilty that Michael Spinks could have decided to go to cruiserweight in 1985 before he moved up to the bigger men. He could have had a rematch with Dwight Qawi with,imo,a second Spinks victory over the distance. This would have led to Michael defending his version of the title against a certain young contender named Evander Holyfield. Now,if the first Holyfield - Qawi fight was good,Spinks - Holyfield would have been even better. I'd expect The Real Deal's hand to be raised after 15 dramatic rounds. Evander would just be that little bit stronger than Spinks.

    Bowe Lewis in early 94 could have happend and again any time after 96. This could have been an other great Trilogey. Bowe would win first time around, Remach after Bowes Golota fights where Lewis would win , then again streight after which Lewis would take again.

    "Foreman-Tyson" in late 1990 or early 1991 could've happened, but after Douglas ****ed up them plans in Tokyo, Foreman went after Holy instead....

    "Mancini-Pryor" of 1983 was mentioned, but team Mancini walked away from that meeting....

    Arguello/Lopez at 126. Alexis vacated the WBA version of the title about one month after Danny won the WBC version.

    Arguello/Duran at 135. I'm still pissed at Fernandez!

    Quarry/Bonavena. I started a thread on this the other day.

    Would Tyson-Holyfield have happened in 1991 as was originally planned, if the incompetent Steele hadn't prematurely stopped Tyson-Ruddock I (thus forcing a rematch) ?

    Ray Robinson versus Charley Burley

    Dempsey Versus Wills - just to see Demp spark him in 2 rounds and shut all the nay sayers up
