It still pains me that Joltin Jeff Chandler vs Lupe Pintor never happened? We have had a few threads on this forum years ago and memory says the consensus was split...My vote did and does go to Chandler (no surprise huh?)

But there are others:
Vicente Saldivar vs Flash Elorde
Shane Mosley vs Tito Trinidad
Tyson vs Bowe 92
Chris Eubank vs Toney or RJJ
B Hop vs Toney

What great fights do you regret never happening? Pryor vs SRL, Dempsey vs Wills? Marciano vs Patterson? JMM vs Morales? Vitali vs Wlad???

What should have been?

Floyd over Casamayor
Tua over any version of Tyson.
Byrd over Jones. It looks like RJJ vs Griffin I, except I don't think RJJ ever hurts Byrd. As a result, he loses a close decision.
I'm not sure Pavlik would knockout Williams. In fact, I think PWill's work rate could overwhelm Pavlik's tendency to rely almost exclusively on throwing a simple, albeit powerful, 1-2 combination.
Trinidad over Norris agreed.
Same with Holmes/foreman
I think Quartey beats Tito, as long as he stays busy with his outstanding jab AND avoids the left hook at all costs. Tito had serious trouble with good jabs, so it's possible he could lose convincingly.
Winky over Oscar I agree. What about Winky vs Forrest? Give me Winky, as I still remember the gift Forrest received against an older, unmotivated Quartey.
Nunn /McCallum is a 50/50 all the way. Trilogy?
Chavez would be too much for Nelson. It may look like Chavez vs Rosario except for the fact that Nelson doesn't have the power Rosario had.
Corrales blitzes Gatti. See their respective fights against Angel Manfredy for evidence.
Starling over Davis in a good tactical fight.

What do you think about the 175 pound version of Michael Moorer vs RJJ in his 175 prime?

nice list. I think Jones has the blueprint to win. Moorer fought a guy at lightheavyweight who went 9 rounds with him. Marcellus was his name. I am just relying in memory, but it showed the blueprint at that weight.
