    Then WHY didnt he take such an easy fight. ?? Before he decimated Cotto even Oscar bragged he wanted winner of Tony/Cotto. After that fight both of them took to the hills neither would fight him. All Tony ever did wrong was destroy Cotto. He cost both Oscar & Floyd big $$$$$$ by beating Cotto the way he did. He had to be got rid of but neither dare risk fighting him. The rest is history

    Guess I’m alone but Bowe V Lewis. Aside from all the nonsense of who ducked who (which this thread isn’t about) in their primes it would have been Amazing.

    Mayweather vs Porter. Porter just blanked Broner and called out Floyd and Floyd instead fought Berto.

    I saw the Floyd vs Spinks in the OP and I mentioned that one before

    Bute vs Ward after the Super 6

    The list would be high but limiting it to 10.

    Fights I could have seen live.

    Tyson vs Holyfield ( 1990 )
    Holmes vs Foreman
    Bowe vs Lewis
    Vitali Klitschko vs Lewis 2
    Mayweather vs Pacman ( 2014 )

    Fights that never happened in past I would have liked to have happened .

    Joe Louis vs Helio Gracie ( Would have been the first modern MMA style match ,Helio was the Father of Royce Gracie )
    Rocky Marciano vs Sonny Liston
    Ali vs Frazier ( 1967 )
    Ali vs Foreman 2
    Spinks vs Holyfield ( CW )

    If I had to pick one fight currently that may not get made but still possible ,im going for Wlad Klitschko vs Wilder whether he has a title or not after Fury.

    Floyd will always be hated by fans that are driven by emotion and jealously.
    Could he have done things in his career differently? Yeah sure but he is easily the greatest of this era whether people like him or not and all true boxing purists know this.

    Margarito vs de la Hoya
    Would also have been nice.

    also it would have been interesting to see Mayweather vs Mayorga.

    Marquez vs Mosley also would have been interesting.
