    Many come to mind but one that sticks out for me was Katsidis vs Guzman in LA. Maybe it annoys me because it got cancelled and i just happened to be in LA at the time all the way from Sydney or maybe because it would have been a great fight.

    Guzman was moving up in weight, Katsidis was the new Gatti and the styles clashed beautifully

    what are some others?

    Mosley-Berto recently...not a great skill fight, but could've been a great action fight. Mosley probably slipped just enough during his time off after beating Margarito that this could have potentially been an explosive battle.

    both good shouts, Lewis was more vulnerable in that era than later on and Bowe stood a decent chance of stopping him IMO

    i also would have liked to have seen Floyd vs Oscar II... Oscars last hurrah and a different game plan would have really made things interesting

    Jake LaMotta and Rocky Graziano were apparently scheduled to fight on June 14, 1950. There's even this picture of them signing the contracts:

    It would have been an update of Mayweather, Jr - Gatti schooling.

    But there was one Guzman cancellation I thought could have been an interesting fight, the one with Nate Campbell.
