    What fantasy fights can you think of that you think would have almost certainly won FOTY or at least been a serious candidate?

    Duran-Arguello - the one I'd have most liked to have seen that could have and perhaps should have happened. FOTY 1978 that never was.

    Julio Cesar Chavez vs Aaron Pryor (LWW)
    Kostya Tszyu vs Aaron Pryor (LWW)
    Nigel Benn vs Julian Jackson (MW)

    Those off the top of my head, there's probably many more.
