    Castillo - Corrales III, Castillo missed weight.
    Haye - Vitali and Haye - Fury. The Haymaker chickened out.
    Fury - Ustinov. Tyson chickened out after the weigh-in and having a close relative hospitalized was used as an excuse.

    Marco Antonio Barrera vs Humberto Soto
    (Barrera opted out)

    Humberto Soto vs Edwin Valero
    Valero flew back to Venezuela to avoid fighting Soto on the Pac vs Cotto undercard by being denied entry into the US because he had a weapons charge (loaded shotgun in car) VISA violation

    Mosley vs Berto was supposed to happen before the Mayweather fight for the WBA and WBC 147 titles but the Earthquake in Haiti happened and Berto backed out.

    Mayweather vs Oscar DLH 2 was supposed to happen but Floyd fought Hatton instead then retired for a number of years.

    Gamboa vs Mikey Garcia was signed, Gamboa opted out his contract though and decided to join 50 cents promotion.

    I thought Gamboa had already signed to fight Brandon Rios and then backed out to join 50 cent.

    Toney & Hopkins were scheduled in 03’ after Toney beat Jirov at 190. I think Hopkins was supposed to go up from 160. They have a couple press conferences and then the fight got scraped.

    The biggest fight I remember getting scheduled and cancelled was a 175lb unification fight between Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and Matthew Saad Muhammad in their primes. Wells Fargo finally checking their books and turning in Harold Smith to the Feds killed a great card full of fights.

    No idea who would have won. If you put a gun to my head I'd say Mustafa. I don't think MSM was likely to knock him out and Eddie might've shaded some close rounds.
