Name 2 boxers that were on a collision course in their era:

Beef ham or meat Witter sucked.

 

Not the point. When Witter and Hatton were at odds, Witter was still ranked at 140. Learn your history son. Boxing existed before Canelo came around.

 

I been a fan since the early 90s, don't know what this has to do with Canelo???

 

Derr...what do Canelo it be? over your head....

 

Kovalev and Stevenson not happening was a disservice to the sport.

 

Bowe vs Lewis, Maidana vs Matthysse, Vladimir Nikitin was offered a pro contract just so he could rematch Michael Conlan.

 

Tua - Tyson

 

**** me that one pissed me off. Same with Beterbiec Ward when Artur was his mandatory and Andre retired.

 

so what went wrong?
(i already know the answer).

 

Tito and Mosley before Tito decided Winky was a good one to take first

 

Bowe v Lewis
Khan v Brook
Kovalev v Stevenson
Hatton v Witter
Floyd v Margarito

 

One's that did happen...

Frampton v Quigg
Groves v Degale
Tito v Oscar
Canelo v GGG
Eubank v Benn

 

I don´t recall Matthysse and Maidana ever being on their way to a fight. Their paths just did not line up.
By the time Matthysse came to prominence at 140, Maidana had already moved to 147.

 

They fought each other 4 times as amateurs and spend a lot of time with each other, then they were fighting for the same promoter.

They had an offer to fight, Maidana recalls that he did not want to fight because "it was a dangerous fight": "we are two countrymen and one of us was going to stay behind."

When was this?
Because Maidana was already retired when Matthysse made his move up to 147.
And when Matthysse made a name for himself at 140, Maidana was at 147.
