    What are some of the best potential bouts that could have happened that never did?

    Something along the lines of Lewis-Bowe and RJJ-Michalczewski. That caliber fight.

    Would be curious to hear some thoughts on this.

    Sanchez-Pedroza
    Pintor-Chandler
    Saad-Mustafa (rematch)
    Palomino-Cuevas
    Hostak-Apostoli/Garcia

    Those are the ones that always first come to my mind whenever this topic comes up.

    This reminds me, I probably should have specified in non-rematch scenarios.

    Which one do you think tops the list in terms of what should have happened and why?

    Here's some fight's I'd have loved to have happened and in brackets who I reckon would've won.

    Duran-Cervantes (Duran wins imo)

    De La Hoya-Tszyu (Oscar)

    Whitaker-Quartey (Quartey in 96 when it was touted)

    Fenech-McGuigan (Fenech easily)

    Jones-McClellan (Jones)

    Benn-Toney (Toney easily)

    Chiquita Gonzalez-Ricardo Lopez (Lopez just)

    Erik Morales v Naseem Hamed

    It was tragic that this potential bloodbath never happened, it was almost a done deal then Naz calls out Barrera in his post fight interview after the Sanchez fight... he tried the easier option & Barrera beat his ass anyway. Silly boy.

    My2Sense do you think Saad's more gung-ho approach would lead him to victory over Eddie. Or do you think he would still be outboxed?

    Was there ever any talk about making Chavez-Nelson like Whitaker-Nelson eventually was?
