    Not that it could’ve happened obviously but I think Joe Frazier vs Evander Holyfield would’ve been one of the greatest and most brutal fights in history

    I have always wanted to see Galindez vs Scott, it would have been a great fight. But getting Victor to defend his WBA title in Rahway State Prison would have been a challenge.

    Sanchez v Pedroza.
    Hard to pick a winner in that one.

    Funny SaintPat mentioned James Scott, because I was thinking along the same lines. I wanted to see Matthew Saad Muhammad against James Scott. I think it would have been a legendary battle of wills.

    I also wanted to see Mike Weaver defend the WBA title against Gerry Cooney.

    Palomino vs. Cuevas from when each man was champion and dominating the division. This would have been an epic slugfest. The battle of the left hooks to be more precise. It would be hard to pick a winner. I think King Carlos had a little too much savvy and strong whiskers and would take out Pipino late or win a decision. I wouldn't risk betting a plugged nickle though on the outcome.

    As far as action goes this one would be off the charts. Evander doesn't have the power to keep Joe off him and he starts to unravel around the 12th and gets stopped in the championship rounds.

    Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor vs Kostya Tszyu.

    Explosive fight! The Hawk feels Tszyu's power and doesn't care he still comes forward . Maybe a little boxing at the start but by the mids rounds Pryor is throwing shots like a lunatic. Dramatic beat down and stoppage for Pryor somewhere in the late rounds (10-12).
