    I wont give a big long list but here are a few mega fights that were supposed to happen & didnt & would have been magnificent battles.....

    Salvador Sanchez vs Alexis Arguello

    Aaron Pryor vs Ray Leonard

    Naseem Hamed vs Erik Morales


    I think all the winners are on the right but Sal vs AA would be the closest.

    :-( These fights SHOULD have happened.

    I thought of that too.It would be a big event but i cant see Marvin carrying the extra weight very well,especially against Spinks.He never called for this fight for a reason.

    Note very sure about this but apprently a Hagler-Spinks fights was initially talked about but Spinks decided to step up to HW. Can anyone shed any light on this? Anyway, as you say the extra weight would have made it tough for Marv, he was natural MW.

    I recall on the TV after Hagler Hearns the presenter saying Marv wouldnt be moving up to challenge Spinks.But that may have changed(though i doubt it)

    Arguello-Duran: this would have happened if Arguello had not blown it against Fernandez.

    Good one for a fight that had so much controversy you would think that in the 9 years after it there wouldve been a rematch but Titos never seemed intrested in it when DLH moved to 154 who moved up to 160 ? Tito did :yep Oscar tried to lure him out of retirement but Tito said no although he had no problem doing it when Mosley wanted to fight him but obviously that didnt happen and Mayorga did he also had no problem fighting Roy after another retirement. Titos always or his Papa should I say uses the weight excuse.
