    Any big fights you wished happened that didn't?

    Cotto-Mosley comes to mind for me. Thought it was ridiculous there wasn't even much demand for it.

    Yeah... ODH/Trini.. thatwould have been huge. Totally forgot about that. Funny how ODH got little flack for not wanting it.

    well he did want it, he just wasn't prepared to earn less than Trinidad to make the fight happen.
    so, yeah, he should have copped a lot of flack for that anyway :good

    Mayweather vs De La Hoya 2 didn't happen. After fighting De La Hoya, Mayweather dragged Hatton to 147 and then retired for 2 years.

    I always wondered why that fight didn't have greater demand for a rematch myself.

    I'll throw Byrd-Golota into the mix. It was one of the more entertaining heavyweight title fights from 2001-2010 (right there with both Lewis-Vitali and Brewster-Liakhovich), it was a draw, and I think a rematch could have became the start of an interesting high profile rivalry in the early parts of the post-Lewis era.

    No ****
    Let's see if we can get a proper ref who will warn after the 5th low blow and deduct after the 10th.
