Great rematches that never happened.

Pacman - JM Marquez . Best fight ever?
Fernando Vargas - Tito . Tito ended him really
Roy jones - James Toney .At lightheavy Just to completely shut motormouth up for a month or so .

De la hoya - Tito . I thought the 1st was a good fight tito was weightdrained but looked fresh at Lightmiddle .
Naz - Barrera . I thought it was a great fight and a lot closer than most people thought.

Naz Kevin Kelley . how could it fail to be a great fight second time around ?
Shea Neary - Mickey Ward . Not great fighters but it would have been a good un.

Ike Quartey - De la hoya . Really had a smell of unfinished business didnt hit the heights but was just warming up in my opinion .

Hopkins v Jones

Ali v Foreman

Hearns v Pryor. But in the pro ranks, imagine that.

Hagler v Lenord

I would have loved to see a Naz v Barrera rematch Naz with a better training camp realising he has to be better this time and having a plan B other than just wanting to ko him

That fights on Youtube.com .

Hearns - Pryor . Back then both were slicksters i think Hearns only scored 11 kos in his entire amatuer career.

One rematch id like to see from the old amatuer days would be Vernon Forrest - KT . KT put on a clinic i hear , how would he do with VF in a pro ring .

vitali vs lewis

tyson vs douglas

hagler vs hearns

ill think of few more later

A 3rd Benn Eubank fight

At 140 i think KT would've knocked him out. Wait a minute I'm not sure about this good call

In recent times, DLH-Quartey is the one that sticks out. It was a great, great fight and it had a bad decision, so there should have been a rematch.

I know DLH didn't want to screw up the potential huge fight with Tito, but they should have gotten in the ring again at some point.

tyson v douglas
ali v foreman
mcguigan v cruz (i for one would have been interested to see a rematch in UK)
jones v toney
hopkins v jones
sanchez v nelson
barrera v pacman (cant see it happening)

Holmes v Berbick (car park fight not ring) I'd loved it maybe Larry could've droped from a bus shelter with the elbow Hulk Hogan style

Ward-Augustus
RJJ-Hopkins(back in the day,not now)
Duran-Barkley

Defo Hagler v Leonard, but don't think Leonard wanted any part of it.
Also wouldn't mind seeing Hagler V Hearns, couple of the greatest rounds of boxing ever seen.
Finally RJJ v the Korean Olympic Gold medal winner ;D

Rematches that I would have loved to have seen...

Ali/Foreman
Halger/Leonard
Jones/Toney
Jones/Hopkins
Lennox/Vitali
Tua/Ibeabuchi
Tyson/Douglas
Prince Naseem/Barrera
Duran/Hearns (I know Duran got destroyed, but I think he would do much better in a rematch)

Sanchez vs. Gomez
Michalczewski vs. Hill
Napoles vs. Monzon
Norris vs. Jackson
Arce vs. Carbajal
Pintor vs. Gomez

i really like duran but i dont see how duran could do any better against hearns

ken norton vs larry holmes

foreman vs ali

gomez vs sanchez

nelson vs sanchez

jones vs toney

jones vs hopkins

nigel benn vs michael watson

sugar vs hagler to settle the score

michael nunn vs james toney

gotta agree with PAC JMM. anytime all three judges see the fight differently the way they did you need a rematch.

I would have loved to see a third fight. I thought Benn won the second and if he got that decision I think there would have been. Big shame that.

How about Wright vs Taylor

That can still happen and I hope Wright makes it happen. Because if he beats Hopkins, he could potentially become a 3 division champion.

John Ruiz v David Tua i really think th boring man cud have lasted a few seconds longer :)

Forrest and Quartey should have fought again so Ike could have won and not have to fight Wright and retire :'(

Interesting someone mentioned Duran/Hearns as a rematch which never happened. I know you say Duran might have done better. Some might say how can he not do better than the first fight, but my thinking is Duran could not have beaten that prime Hearns ever.. The only way Duran could have maybe given Hearns a good fight is had they fought in 1989 or 1990 when Tommy himself was starting to decline.. But the Hearns of 1984 or 1985 or 1986 demolishes Duran everytime. Too big, fast , tall -good. Tommy was just too quick and sharp for Duran... What makes Tommy great? He was just so fast and he came to fight. No matter what you say about Tommy. He came to fight.

That was the 1st fight i thought of ;)

A trilogy between these two would of doen well to rival the Gatti-Ward series 8)

Its a shame that Corrales - Castillo 3 didnt happen.

I do not think the great great fights like Hagler/Hearns or Castillo/Corrales do well in rematches. I think both times with Castillo it was more a relaxed fight the second time, and had Hagler/Hearns fought again Hearns would not have gone to war just to be knocked out again.. Hearns would have stuck and moved and tied up Marvin and tried to cut up Marvin or swell him up.

Trinidad Vs De La Hoya- De La Hoya did not want the fight
Whitaker Vs De La Hoya- De La Hoya did not want the fight after saying it would happen
Whitaker Vs Chavez- Pernell wanted the rematch, he just wanted Chavez to admit he lost and Chavez would not do it, he did not want any more parts of Pernell
Lewis Vs Klits- We all no about this one
Holyfield Vs Tyson- Technically there was a rematch but we never we able to see how it would have panned out.

Thomas Hearns vs Marvin Hagler 2

Sugar Ray Leonard vs Marvin Hagler 2

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis 2

George Foreman vs Muhammad Ali 2

Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo 3

Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas 2

Joe Calzaghe vs Robin Reid 2

Michael Watson vs Nigel Benn 2

Chris Eubank vs Nigel Benn 3

Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez 2

Azumah Neslon vs Salvador Sanchez 2

Ken Norton vs Larry Holmes 2

Pernell Whitaker vs Julio Cesar Chavez 2

Vince Phillips vs Kostya Tszyu 2

Not a problem ICB,
It happens but nothing a quick little search can't fix. :)

ALI V FOREMAN
TYSON V DOUGLAS
HAGLER V LEONARD
DLH V TRINIDAD
WHITAKER V CHAVEZ
OLIVARES V ARGUELLO
TSZYU V HATTON
DLH V QUARTEY
BENETIZ V LEONARD
LEWIS V VITALI

These are all more recent.

Hatton - Collazo
Lewis - Klitschko
Wright - Taylor (I have no faith in the rematch taking place)
Castillo - Corrales III
Castillo - Ngoudjo (I really wanted Ngoudjo to pull it off and I think he could in the rematch, he showed he could take everything Castillo threw and he's from Canada so that makes me biased)
Wright - Vargas (if it had happened a few years ago)
Forrest - Quartey

I'm sure there's more that I'm not remembering

Edit: Pac - Marquez
Pac - Barrera
Barrera - Naz just so MAB could KTFO Naz this time
