What is your dream heavyweight match-up that never happened? You can choose fighters from any era

Frazier-Holyfield
Cooper-Patterson
Chuvalo-Brewster

All 3 would be insane wars.

 

I think the Cooper v Patterson fight would go something like this.

Dempsey v Marciano
Ali v Louis
Louis v Dempsey
Frazier v Marciano
Langford v Marciano
Marciano v T Sharkey
Liston v Jeffries
Foreman v Marciano
Ali v Dempsey

Lewis v Bowe
Dempsey v Wills
Johnson v Langford

* You've picked one of my choices!

 

Holmes V Foreman
Bowe V Lewis
Liston V Foreman
Frazier V Tyson
Frazier V Holyfield
Louis V Liston
Louis V Holmes
Louis V Ali
Ali V Lewis
Ali V Holyfield
Ruddock V Lyle
Shavers V B.Cooper
Quarry V Mercer
Witherspoon V Frazier
Wlad V Bowe
Vitali V Bowe
Fury V Vitali
Golota V Ibeabuchi
Foster V Patterson
Thomas V Holmes
Dokes V Holmes
Thomas V Ali
Dokes V Ali

Unfortunately I think Joshua V Wilder will be added to that list in the future

 

Louis vs Holyfield would have to rate pretty high up there for me
Frazier vs Marciano would be a war to end all wars
Ali vs Tyson is a fascinating stylistic matchup but I think the buildup would be special, Ali waging psychological warfare before throwing a single punch
Foreman vs Liston with Big George from the Lyle fight and Liston from Patterson 1 could end up setting off some fireworks
Sullivan vs Jackson with both at their best could settle a lot of questions
Byrd vs. Young might not be an all action shootout, but it'd sure be an interesting matchup of two standout slicksters
Klitschko vs....Klitschko. Need I say more?

 

It's a pretty easy answer in my book.

I think 87-88 Tyson vs 73-74 Foreman is THE heavyweight matchup for all time.

 

Lewis v Holmes
Tyson v Wilder
Bruno v Cooper
Foreman v W Klitschko

 

Prime Holyfield vs Prime Tyson (still favor Holyfield)
Lewis vs Ali
Holmes vs Foreman
Holyfield vs Morrison
Mercer vs Tua
Wlad vs Vitali

 

Joe Louis vs Sonny Liston
Jack Dempsey vs Jack Johnson
Gene Tunney vs Max Schmeling
Rocky Marciano vs Floyd Patterson
Evander Holyfield vs Ezzard Charles
Joe Frazier vs Ken Norton
Larry Holmes vs George Foreman
Larry Holmes vs Pinklon Thomas
Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis
Wlad Klit vs Vitali Klit
Razor Ruddock vs Ron Lyle
Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield 1991
Mike Tyson vs George Foreman 1990/1991

Thomas Hearns vs Felix Trinidad
Thomas Hearns vs Mike McCallum
Terry Norris vs Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Marvin Hagler vs Roy Jones, Jr.

Julio Cesar Chavez vs Salvador Sanchez
Hector Camacho vs Meldrick Taylor
Pernell Whitaker vs Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Nigel Benn vs Julian Jackson

Prime Larry Holmes vs. Prime Mike Tyson (Holmes TKO in 10)

Prime Larry Holmes vs George Foreman (same as above)

" " " " vs Joe Frazier (FOTC Frazier SD if it goes 12 but either TKO or UD in 15)

60s Ali vs Iron Mike (Ali by 9th round TKO)

Salvador Sanchez moves up and kicks the **** out of Mayweather Jr. in 11

Aaron Prior catches Mayweather Jr. in 10, TKO. Mayweather overwhelmed.

Joe Louis vs 60s Ali (Ali gets a really tough fight but ends up with a SD)

Norton vs. Frazier (Frazier by 8th round KO, but Norton would have not gone without a killer fight)

70s Foreman vs. Tyson (Foreman by 2nd round TKO)

90s Foreman vs Tyson (Tyson by UD, despite getting floored)

1992 Lewis vs. 1992 Bowe (Bowe by 5th round KO)

1998 Lewis vs 1992 Bowe (Great fight, Lewis wins by a really tough SD. Both men get knocked down)

" " " vs 1997 Bowe (Lewis by 4 round TKO)

Fury vs Prime Wlad Klitschko (Wlad by TKO in 11)

And plenty others.

 

Sure their are loads, all the above and more, BUT for me if I had to choose only 1 it would be Frazier v Marciano, the immovable object, colliding with the irresistible force, who wins ? we will nether know....

 

The two best dempsey and louis
