    I always wanted to see another Tito vs De LA Hoya fight...may be at middleweight..

    Not cause I thought it was a bad decision, I just thought Oscar and Felix could have put on a great fight that was remembered as a classic, even though the first one didn't live up to hype

    Also Chico Corrales and Jose Louis Castillo, Castillo got his revenge in the rematch and scored a way more brutal knockout over Coreales....they were post to have a third fight but Corrales couldn't make weight if I remember correct

    Pac vs Marquez, I am probably in the minority on this one.

    Foreman would have crushed Clay in a rematch on US turf

    Leanord wins both rematches he took the hearts of both those men Hagler never even fought again and moved to Europe he had no pride to face his fans

    Clay?

    Hearns won their rematch.


    Hagler would not have messed around inthe return, Leonard knew it and made sure it didn't happen.

    On the flip side of that,...why did Marv mess around in their match to begin with?

    Because Marvin's over confidence thought that he could KO Leonard. It would be an entirely different fight if a rematch had happened.

    Ted kid Lewis and Jack Britton only fought 20 times.
    Surely there was unfinished business there??

    Why ?

    Liston asserted his superiority twice over and that's putting it mildly !!!

    Ali would always have had Foreman's number.

    I think he was disdainful, too much pride. I don't think he had a ton of respect for Ray.

    He considered himself a blue collar old school guy. Remember, all the respect he showed for Duran?. He gave Ray the bigger ring, glove choice, 12 vs 15 rounds . . .
