    Shavers Foreman , just for the drama of waiting for the bombs to fall.. I find it interesting that the list of fights in the 70's that didn't happen are very small. Unlike today where there's far more fights that weren't made than were.

    Frazier v Norton is an intriguing one.

    John Tate Vs Earnie Shavers for the championship, I feel like that fight could be pretty interesting.

    I know I'm one of very few, but I like Tate. He was a good, big sized boxer who stuck to his plan and had a nice punch.

    Thad Spencer vs Muhammad Ali would’ve been good! - just an overall solid fighter, liked to have seen Ali fight more guys in the 60s, just a very underwhelming group of contenders.
