    Honeyghan would have absolutely mullered Laing I feel.

    Hearns vs Eubank isn't a bad shout actually.

    How about..... Whitaker vs Meldrick Taylor?

    I don't understand. Are you suggesting he wouldn't have been competitive. It should be Hamed's ability to be competitive with JMM you should be questioning.

    I swear that I'm doing a two hour show as soon as I get back on the small screen devoted to fantasy fights that came close to being reality.
    120 minutes of your emails and texts and a chart of the top ten...just me, you and a camera or two...f*** it, let's do it at 2am!!!

    Adios.

    I'd love to see that fight :good

    I watched Mellis' second fight with Alexander recently and Alexander admitted it was the first time he was scared in the ring and wouldn't really commit in case he was caught himself (again!).

    Yeah, it's gotta be B-Hop/RJJ vs Eubank/Benn.

    It's what the era is missing.

    I always thought Shea Neary v a young Ricky Hatton would have been a cracking scrap.

    Just looking at some of these mentions. So many history changing events never took place and it's so frustrating.

    Quartey vs. Whitaker and Trinidad. Shane Mosley vs. Stevie Johnston and Hopkins vs. Toney really should've happened. Criminal really.

    I'm not a Hamed fan by any means, but wouldn't wish Morales on him.

    The thought of that fight makes me shudder.

    Apart from Lewis v Bowe and Tyson v Bowe at heavy. I wanna mention big Frank Bruno. Bruno v Morrison would've been tasty, Bruno v Ruddock interesting.
