    ...That NEVER HAPPENED????

    My List:

    1. Oscar De La Hoya vs Vernon Forrest at 147 or 154lbs
    2. Oscar De La Hoya vs Winky Wright at 147 or 154lbs
    3. Felix Trinidad vs Shane Mosley at 147lbs
    4. Felix Trinidad vs Vernon Forrest at 147lbs
    5. Bernard Hopkins vs Felix Sturm at 160lbs in '04
    6. Ricky Hatton vs Junior Witter at 140lbs
    7. Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather at 140 or 147lbs
    8. Miguel Cotto vs Ricky Hatton at 140lbs - This would have been a great fight!!!
    9. Floyd Mayweather vs Antonio Margarito at 147lbs in 2005-'07
    10. Joe Calzaghe vs Anybody from 1997-2005!!!!
    11. Joan Guzman vs Juan Manuel Marquez at 130 or 135lbs
    12. Manny Pacquiao vs Joan Guzman at 130 (No Excuse for this fight Not happening) In The other fights I mentioned, one of the fighters took a loss (Mosley to Forrest, Mosley to Wright, Forrest to Mayorga...etc) that no longer made certain match-ups attractive. But for Pacquiao and Guzman, both fighters were belt holders and on win streaks with Guzman being Undefeated...NO ****ING EXCUSE FOR THAT FIGHT NOT HAPPENING!!!!

    I know I missed some good match-ups...Sound-Off!!!

    There were a couple of potentially very good Arguello fights that did not happen due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. Arguello/Lopez in 1976. Arguello/Duran in 1978.

    that is mine. I always thought Lennox would win that fight. A right hand puncher vs. a counter left hook puncher, I will always go with the right hand landing first.

    How about Arce-Darchinyan? The criteria does ask for prime fighters. They fought way too late.
