    Duran v Arguello almost happened at one point...what a war that might have been.

    edit - Hamed was close to fighting Gatti at one point as well.

    Trinidad vs Mosley - year 2000 i think that with mosley's strong shin and his willingness to trade, it would have brutal for mosley to absorb all those shots, i think mosley looses by accumulation of punishment. remember he has trouble with tall long guys like forrest.

    Kendall Holt vs torres 3

    could you imagine Hamed vs darchynian?

    Quarry/Foreman: These days Big George claims he intentionally avoided Quarry who was hell on big men.

    Danny Lopez/Alexis Arguello at 126. Lopez won the WBC featherweight title about 1 month before Alexis vacated the WBA version over weight issues.

    Duran/Arguello at 135: Arguello straight up blew it with the Fernandez fight, and then Duran moved to 147. Arguello/Fernandez II made it pretty clear that Alexis just flat ****ed up in the first fight.

    More recently:

    People already mentioned a bunch of good ones. Nobody mentioned Pavlik/Wright. Pavlik called Winky out about 5 or 6 times. Winky wouldn't bite. I really wanted to see that fight in 2006-2007.

    Ah - yeah! Forgot about that one.
    I remember seeing this clip and loving it:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW3zWZ12ZZY[/ame]


    Man, that's funny - and I'd chop off a finger to see either of those fights happen.
    Toney would've probably beaten them both, though.
