    I’ll get the ball rolling with these two random ones.

    Grigory Drozd vs Ilunga Makabu

    Joan Guzman vs Alex Arthur

    I’m sure there are plenty more. Which ones were you looking forward to?

    Mosley vs Berto.
    It would have been a fantastic fight.

    Judah against Mosley would have been exciting while it lasted too.

    I heard about it recently, never knew it was in play.
    But it wasn´t for a title.

    I wasn't around then but Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis would have been fun to watch.
