    Not sure about Hagler v Hearns as it was a pretty convincing win for Marvin but the other two are mouth watering

    Yep I see your point but I'd like to have seen it maybe a year or so later and see if Hearns could perhaps change tactics.
    Probably not lol, but just to see em blast each other again would be fun.

    More recently I'd like to see Ted Cheeseman Vs Troy Williamson that fight for the British Welterweight title was intense!

    Joe Calzaghe Vs Omar Sheika that one got stopped early but Calzaghe claims Sheika's eye opened up in that fight. Mike Mccallum Vs Herol Graham that went to a split decision

    I would have liked to have seen a rematch with Canelo Alvarez Vs Danny Jacobs I argubably had Jacobs winning by one round but he just sat down for the first five rounds and then had him winning the remaining rounds despite Canelo looking busier I felt Jacobs landed the cleaner more visible punches.

    Lewis Vs Vitali has got to be the most severe cut I have ever seen in a boxing match!

    Agree with these. Don't understand the calls for Foreman-Ali, Tyson-Douglas or Wlad-Fury. Those weren't close or controversial at all. You might feel the fighters deserved rematches, but the fights didn't.
