If 24/7 had always been around...

What fights would have been the best for 24/7 ALL-TIME.

Here's my list
Ali-Foreman 'Rumble in the Jungle'...could you imagine how crazy that would have been??? The tenacity of the undefeated power punching Foreman vs the Louisville Lip who would have been awesome infront of any camera

Ray Leonard-Roberto Duran...Duran would have been tailor made for 24/7, brash, irreverent, and just plain mean

Clay-Liston I....Sonny Liston, big, powerful, mean as hell vs the loud mouth young whippersnapper who would become Ali.

Ray Leonard-Marvin Haggler...another great match of Media Friendly and Ferocious

Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield, a seemingly crazy Iron Mike and the always in shape Real Deal would be sure to provide fireworks.

Roy Jones Jr.-James Toney two great showmen who were always great when a mic was put infront of them (unless Roy tries to rap ;))

Some fighters who would have been great for the 24/7 series: Jack Johnson, John L. Sullivan, Willie Pep, Ray Robinson, Hank Armstrong, Archie Moore.

Guys who would have been bad on 24/7: Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier...they were just too bland, too businesslike

some modern fights that would have been great for 24/7 would have been

DLH/Vargas
DLH/Mayorga
Trinidad/Vargas
Morales/Barrera
Jones Jr/Tarver II lol

Great thread Lyle!!

Anything Ali would have been phenomenal. ElTerrible all of those fights you listed would have been great ones as well.

Tito vs Bhop would have been a good one to.

especially the episode that they focus on the throwing of the flag lol, i still remember Tito's reaction lol, you could tell by his face that he knew nothing about what just happened

hagler-hearns

Eubank v Benn

JCC V Whitaker

Although the rematch itself was a big disappointment, i reckon after the 1st Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo fight a lot of people would be clucking to see how they'd prepare to go at it a second time.

agree, another one would be DLH/Chavez I

Jones vs Ruiz

Lewis Vs Tyson

Robinson vs Lamotta

Tyson vs Mcneely

Would loved to have seen Ali v Frazier 1 but also old school fighters like Dempsey, Tunney, Ketchel, Jack Johnson and Sugar Ray Robinson. That would be great to watch.

Stanley Ketchel would have be tailor made for 24/7 given his bad ass attitude lol
