    True, I think he’d beat Aj even easier now than 5 years ago.
    Fury’s not suffered the damaging defeats of AJ I suppose, close-ish decisions by Usyk, he can hold on to ‘I was robbed by Usyk’, so has more to lose than AJ does?
    They should both just fight and retire though

    Dempsey Wills would have been another million dollar gate.

    Tyson-Foreman

    I think they actually had a couple press conferences for their tentatively scheduled fight in late 03’. B-Hop would have had to move up from 160 to 190.

    The fight fell apart. Toney fought Holyfield and Hopkins fought Joppy.

    Tyson was a boxing film junkie and watched tons of tapes. There was one type of fighter that Cus told him was all wrong for him
    George Foreman,,,,he didn't want any of George.

    Arguello-Sanchez and Leonard-Pryor would both have been huge.

    Gomez-Zamora in 1983, as it was planned, would have filled the Roberto Clemente Coliseum. In fact I can see that biled as "The battle of the Z boys II"

    Imagine Jack Dempsey vs Harry Wills in 1926 instead of Sharkey vs. Wills and Dempsey vs. Tunney. Wow!

    the Brits...

    McAvoy vs Steele
    Boon vs Armstrong/Ambers/Jenkins
    Roderick vs Zivic
    Gilroy vs McAvoy
    Mills vs Conn
    Gilroy vs Mills
    Villimain vs Cerdan

    there are tons of great International Fights that could have been made, impossible to do in many a case, deliberately avoid in others.
