    Ali vs Foreman II ( Foreman wins)
    Hagler vs. Leonard II (Hagler wins)
    Byrd vs Ruiz (Byrd wins)
    Tyson vs Foreman (Foreman wins easily)
    Wlad vs Vitali (Vitali wins easily)

    All should have happened

    Foreman beats Tyson? Are you serious? LOL... first I have ever heard that. All others I agree with actually except for the Foreman wins. Ali had him for chalk and Tyson would have mauled Foreman in just over 8 rounds. Foreman would have retired by round 9 if he got up from a Tyson left hook/uppercut combo...
    :cool:

    Grandpa Foreman would not just beat Tyson, he would destroy him in 4 or less.

    Prime Foreman would KO Mike in 1 or 2 rounds.

    As for Ali that would be 50/50, I just think Foreman would pull it off.....but we will never know because Ali ducked him for the rematch.

    ok... we drifted a little bit. But we were robbed of Ali vs. Foreman the rematch. From what I heard, Foreman didn't want the fight as much as Ali ducked him. Strange but true!!

    Damn...how the hell did I forget this one.

    Ken Norton vs Joe Frazier

    It is a crime that this fight did not happen.

    Foreman tried to get the fight for years, Ali wanted no part of him. Still Foreman did lose to young ( so did Ali IMO) and the rematch was to be after that.....4 years in the making.

    Were talks in the making for this one? And if so how did they break down? I always thought Norton was never truly in the real mix of the "must fights"??

    Tyson and Foreman SHOULD have fought in late 1990 after both men parked "Rodriguez & Tillman" on that lousy June '90 HBO double-header card they aired....

    Foreman closed 1990 out with a fixed fight / KO over "Terrible" Terry Armstrong in London on the USA network, and Tyson smoked Alex "Glass-Jaw" Stewart on HBO in Dec. 1990 for a reasonable paycheck... Both them events sucked ham and eggs from a roach coach off the side of the road.... YUCK!

    :shock::roll::patsch:rofl:dead

    HAHAHA!

    Ali Owned Foreman and Tyson-Foreman would have been legalized murder. Foreman's old, fat, immobile ass gets brutally stopped. Tyson finishes what Alex Stewart started...

    Those guys were friends and sparring partners, that fight was never being considered. Either way Frazier kicks the living **** out of Norton. I have footage of them sparring and Frazier is on his ass like stank on ****.

    If Frazier and Norton were to meet in the early 70's, Frazier would have served as a very effective "policeman" or gatekeeper for Ali by preventing a fight between Ali and Norton from ever happening, as Frazier would have very effectively beaten...stopped Norton, A Frazier fight..fight with his buddy good ol' Smokin' Joe would have been career suicide for Norton. It not only would have prevented Norton from meeting Ali...and achieving his claim to fame, but it may have derailed him from ever meeting George Foreman...which might have been a good thing actually.
