    A bout you wished for but never happened? Can be impossible, such as different time periods.

    Liston vs Foreman is a dream for me..

    Cruiserweight: Usyk vs Holyfield
    175- Charles vs Spinks
    168- Calzaghe vs Ward
    160- Hagler vs Monzon (Langford vs Greb would be awesome too)
    154- McCallum vs Hearns
    147- Robinson vs Leonard
    140- Loi vs Pryor
    135- Duran vs Whitaker
    130- Arguello vs Mayweather
    126- Saddler vs Sanchez
    122- Gomez vs Inoue
    118- Jofre vs Olivares
    115- Moon vs Khaosai
    112- Canto vs Wolgast
    108- Carbajal vs Chang
    105- Lopez vs Chocolatito

    Sticking to fights that could have happened (just my preference)

    I wish they did Paul Williams vs. Mayweather
    and if the winner of Eubank Benn ended up getting Toney
