    First and foremost: Wlad vs Fury. No way does Wlad lose a rematch against Fury and Wlad was aching for a rematch.

    Next: Big George vs Ali. Ali was a one-trick pony and as Roger Daltrey sang; we won't get fooled again. There won't be a rope a dope part 2

    Who ya got?

    Starling vs Molinares (odd they didn't rematch)

    Tyson vs Douglas, I think (as talented and Great as I think he was in Tokyo) Douglas comes in fat like he did vs Holyfield vs a motivated Mike and gets KOd this time

    Edit: just remembered the Molinares-Starling fight was changed to an NC eventually so I guess this doesn't count, but he was originally the loser so I'll go with that

    Loma I think would have got the job done if he rematched Lopez (and for that matter Salido obviously.)

    Wlad's rematch against Fury is always a big what if; personally I think Wlad would have made the necessary adjustments and won.

    Always debatable but not sure i agree with either. Ali was too sharp for Big George.

    Fury/Klitchko was a pretty low output fight. I dont think it was just down to Wlad having an off night. Fury shutdown a lot of guys with his style. Fury had quite a few tools that Klitchko struggled with. Furys height/reach and ability to fight on the move, his movement and the fact hes pretty good at getting off first with that movement etc.

    Wlad made a career out of using his reach/height against opponents. His style was built around it. He did beat guys with height/reach but no one with height/reach with good movement etc.

    Furys movement allowed him to do what the other big men couldnt.

    Wlad might have won because a different Fury turned up tbf. But if the same Fury turned up i reckon he,d have done it better the second time round.

    Not sure why so many people are saying Wlad vs Fury. Wlad would’ve had a far better chance of winning a Joshua rematch than a Fury rematch.

    Vitali vs Byrd
    Holmes vs Holyfield
    Thomas vs Witherspoon
    Tyson vs Douglas
    Rivas vs Whyte
    Tua vs Ibeabuchi
    Wilson vs Briggs
    Smith vs Witherspoon II

    Oquendo would win most of his rematches with fair judging, and Valuev would lose most of his with fair judging.
