    I am going with an Australian slant today.

    1. Darcy v Dempsey - How would Darcy's legacy have changed if his loss to Jim Flynn was instead a loss to Les Darcy, which was about when this fight would have went down.
    2. Darcy v Greb - Again, How good does Les Darcy look in hindsight with a win over a pre prime but still very good Greb.
    3. Famechon v Rose - Probably would have been one of the biggest fights in australian boxing history.
    4. Harding v Waters - Another huge domestic rivalry that never quite materialised. Would have helped return boxing to the mainstream audience at the time.
    5. Jackson v Sullivan - No real explanation needed.
