    I know Floyd vs Manny took place years after, and both we'rent half the fighters they were in years past. But what about fights that never ended up happening?
    Would Ali vs Teofilo Stevenson go down as one of, if not the biggest?
    Who do you think would have won?

    Keeping it olympic related, what about Tyson vs Savon?

    I think Ali vs Stevenson certainly was.

    Tyson vs Savon not too much, as Savon had massive power and skill, but his chin didn't look too sturdy in the very early 90's

    Stevenson would have ko'd Ali. Unpopular but true.

    Duran was visiting with Castro in Cuba and Castro posed this question to Duran. Duran's reply was " Are you kidding? Ali would kill him."

    I'm sure an amateur one can be done via Savon/Balado or something..

    The Greatest Heavyweight of All Time against a guy that never fought beyond 3 and was beaten by Francesco Damiani? There is no what if.
