    So so many great fights listed here
    All I can say is my favorite at the moment would have been JMM v EM
    Rubin Carter v Bennie Briscoe
    SRR v any Black Murderers Row who were around during his time. Should be quite a few.
    Zale v LaMotta
    Toney v Hopkins

    George Foreman vs Larry Holmes. Foreman called out Larry Holmes in the late 70's around the time Foreman fought Scott LeDoux. Holmes and his people didn't want any part of Foreman. Foreman vs Tyson could of happened but clearly Tyson didn't want any part and Foreman vs Lennox Lewis. If Foreman would of got the nod in the Briggs fight Lewis said he would of fought Foreman. Foreman vs Bowe. Foreman called out Bowe. Bowe verbally agreed and then backed out saying Foreman wanted too much money.

    Lewis Vs Bowe could of should of happened. Ken Norton vs Joe Frazier clearly could of happened but they were friends so they didn't want to fight. You can find footage of them sparring though. Roy Jones vs Dariusz Michalczewski should of and could of happened but clearly Jones Jr didn't want it to happen.

    I struggle to see a case for favouring Walcott over Ryan.

    Walcott was dangerous, but Ryan did significantly better over mutual opponents, was way way more consistent, and I was much more versatile.
