    Fights where the times matched up but the fighters didn't? Preferably for entertainments sake not just what you wanted to happen.

    Just been talking to George Crowcroft about this one. Frank "The Animal" Fletcher v Tony Sibson. Talks were at an advanced stage but the fight fell through.

    Roy Jr vs. Benn and Eubanks as mentioned

    Danny Lopez vs. Wilfredo Gomez (pretty close to happening before Lopez lost to Salvador Sanchez)

    Larry Holmes vs. John Tate (to unify)

    Lennox Lewis vs. Riddick Bowie

    Marvin Hagler vs. Frank Fletcher (MMH destroys him but Frank deserved a shot ... bad fortune to have a short peak when there’s only one champ instead of multiple belts)
