    Holyfield would have got iced in 91. Too small during that time and if Cooper was able to drop him, Tyson would have finished the job.

    From that liss, definitely Trinidad-Mosley. Also I would have loved to see Mayweather-Freitas at 130 pounds when they were the 2 best in the division.

    For me Duran-Arguello.

    Surprised Lewis-Bowe is winning. Bowe stood no change whatsoever, which is why Big Daddy abandoned a fight rather than fight his daddy.

    Whitaker-Quartey was one that would have been great had it happened. Also Finito Lopez vs Michael Carbajal at 108 pounds in 1997.

    Tyson Fury Vs David Haye would have been a classic and Fury's coming out fight

    Can only imagine what he would have done to that midget and there would always have been a chance of Haye landing some power to unleash Fury and we all know what happens when you do that. Spines, hearts and wills get crushed.

    Amir Khan Vs Tim Bradley

    I would have liked to see that too, I always feel like Vitali would have flattened Wlad.
