(DREAM FIGHTS)...what is the best fight that never happened?

Haye bottled it, he wanted no part of being in a ring with 6'9 270 lbs of inside fightingness

 

Yep, damn shame Tyson vs Holyfield didn't happen back in '91.Would probably have rivalled Holmes vs Norton or Bowe vs Holyfield 1.

 

As a UK fan, I would have loved to see Ricky Hatton vs. Junior Witter.

 

For me its Duran vs Pryor or McCallum Hearns. Those are the two fights I wanted to see the most as a kid.

 

Floyd vs Margarito. It was an interesting fight simply because Floyd would be totally unable to deter Margarito. Would have liked to see how uncomfortable Marg could make it or if Floyd would be able to Baldomir him (doubt it would be that uncompetitive).

 

Omg that Terrible Dinamita!

 

Andre Ward vs Adonis Stevenson. Maybe if Abu Dhabi was a player in boxing back then, we could have had Undisputed.

 

Prime (or close to) Haye vs up and coming Fury would of been great! Build up to the fight would of been great and the fight itself would of been fire. Too bad we never got to see it.

 

Salvador Sanchez vs Alexis Arguello/Eusebio Pedroza
Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis
Erik Morales vs Juan Manuel Marquez
Felix Trinidad vs Shane Mosley/Ike Quartey
George Foreman vs Mike Tyson/Larry Holmes
Ricardo Lopez vs Michael Carbajal
Paul Williams vs Floyd Mayweather Jr
Johnny Tapia vs Mark Johnson
Thomas Hearns vs Mike McCallum
Roberto Duran vs Alexis Arguello
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Aaron Pryor
Roy Jones Jr vs Darius Michalczewski
Bob Foster vs John Conteh
Kostya Tszyu vs ODLH
Nigel Benn vs Julian Jackson

 

I think all of these would be fun classics

Ibeabuchi vs Tyson
Morrison vs Tyson
Morrison vs Ibeabuchi?
Klitschko vs Klitschko
Briggs vs Morrison
Bowe vs Lewis
AJ vs Fury
Tyson vs Foreman
Lewis vs Vitali II

 

RJJ would have toyed with him. Different level.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Erik Morales from the list for me, if only because from all those classic 'little man' fights of the era it seems the most glaring omission. I can kind of understand people being disappointed in Lewis vs Bowe not happening on the pro circuit, but Bowe's shameless ducking of the man coupled with their meeting in the ams should tell you how Bowe, at least, thought it would go.

 

Hagler vs Hearns 2
Leonard vs Hearns 3
Hearns vs Czyz
Hearns vs Mugabi
Hearns vs Nunn

 

A lot of fights are very good in that list but I have to add:
Salvador Sanchez vs. Alexis Arguello
Salvador Sanchez vs. Eusebio Pedroza
Salvador Sanchez vs. Hector Camacho
Salvador Sanchez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
Hector Camacho vs. Eusebio Pedroza
Hector Camacho vs Aaron Pryor
Eusebio Pedroza vs, Wilfredo Gomez
Eusebio Pedroza vs. Azumah Nelson
Hector Camacho vs Wilfredo Gomez
Larry Holmes vs Michael Dokes
Larry Holmes vs Gerrie Coetzee
Mike Weaver vs Gerry Cooney
Earnie Shavers vs Gerry Cooney
Mike Weaver vs Earnie Shavers
Edwin Rosario vs Ray Mancini
Aaron Pryor vs Ray Mancini
Aaron Pryor vs. Edwin Rosario
Harry Arroyo vs Edwin Rosario
Harry Arroyo vs Ray Mancini
Harry Arroyo vs Hector Camacho
Harry Arroyo vs Julio Cesar Chavez
Harry Arroyo vs Aaron Pryor
Harry Arroyo vs rocky Lockridge
Harry Arroyo vs Wilfredo Gomez
Roberto Duran vs Aaron Pryor
Roberto Duran vs Antonio Cervantes
Alexis Arguello vs. Antonio Cervantes
Riddick Bowe vs. George Foreman
Michael Carbajal vs Ricardo Lopez

All had the potential of happening and would all have been great fights, at least on paper anyways.

 

Paul Williams would've been toughest match for Mayweather.
