    so far pac vs. may was a fight i willing to pay for.

    can anybody think of big fights that should have happened, but didn't and why?

    i still remember when bowe put his belt in the trash can. so i'll add lewis vs bowe.

    I'll mention two fights that I still wish would have happened.

    Danny "Little Red" Lopez vs Alexis Arguello circa 1976. There was a period of about one month before Arguello moved up that Lopez had the WBC title while Alexis had the WBA title at 126.

    Arguello/Duran at 135. This fight was as good as done, but Arguello screwed the pooch against Fernandez in his first fight at 135, and Duran moved up.

    Michalezewski Vs. Jones. Jones ran from Michalczewski for years.

    Pac Vs. Void. Void ran from Pac using a bogus excuse.

    Vitali or Vlad Vs. Haye. Haye backed out of a signed contract and backed out of an implied contract with Vitali.

    I know these arent HUGE blockbuster fights... but are fights i would have liked to see from top fighters that were close to eachothers weight around the same time and had decent fan bases at the time as well....
