    Tua- Lewis, Mosley dlh, Barrera Morales, Cotto Hatton (never happened though), klit wlad vs Vitali (their mom disallowed this) , Tyson Holyfield. Name other 2 great combos of fighters who did/ should have had a showdown. Also toney rjj, and Hopkins Tarver for the amount of crap they talked. Also Oquendo Ruiz, and arreolla Ruiz!

    Tyson vs Holyfield in 1990 would have been maybe the most skilled HW fight of all time.. If not second to Ali vs Frazier 1..

    Nice call Ezzard Charles is a forgotten man when you think of great HW champions. However the only reason I don’t consider it the most skill full is because in 1950 Joe Louis was well past his physical prime at the age of 36. When Tyson vs Holyfield was originally suppose to happen Tyson was 24 and Holyfield was 28 each undefeated and Holyfield fought his way to be the #1 contender for the Undisputed HW championship after relinquishing the Undisputed CW crown.. Both guys were at their physical peaks..

    There can be more than one jackass. Witter and Hatton had beef in the UK. Would have been big in the UK
