    Hopefully if a similar thread is made in a couple years, we won't be saying we wished Pacquaio-Mayweather had happened.

    Anyway, as the title says, name the fights you wished happened and why you think they didn't. Who was more to blame for it not happening? Also, include you who think would have won.

    I can think of Roy Jones - Bernard Hopkins after Hopkins beat Carl Daniels back in 2002 which didn't happen because Jones wanted 60% of the money but Hopkins wanted a 50-50 split.

    If Tyson had never been locked up.... Tyson-Bowe.

    And Quartey-Tito should have happened in the mid 90's.
