What boxing people throughout its history that did not like each other would you have liked to have made friends and got on with one another.
I will start, I would have loved Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries to have been best mates and had a drink. :)

Marco and Erik
Bob Arum & Oscar De la Hoya
Hagler-Leonard talking it out over a cup would have been ppv worthy
Pacman and Floyd... they'd be able to get shit done and their accountants would thank them
Floyd Mayweather Sr and Freddie Roach, just watching those two exchange once on youtube was hilarious they could have a sitcom together.

Ali and Frazier, i still think that Ali went overboard on Joe and it's a pity these two cannot be seen to be reconciled or at least be seen to have mutual respect. They gave us great fights, but both of them have their problems with each other to this day. I look at Ali's condition and it's sad to see, i look at Smokin' Joe and he can hardly put together a sentence. I would love to see these two guys embrace each other and show the respect for each other that every boxing fan in the world has for both of them.
Umm I think we need more bad blood less friends. I dont wanna see too many Dirrell-Ward situations...Morales and Barrera are like oil and water.

That was actually pretty funny!
But man, was Roach's condition bad there. His speech seemed so much better, but his posture and comfort did not seem near what they are today
Wlad & Haye. This will get sorted if they ever fight though, becuase when Haye tags him, Wlad will be doing all he can to draw Haye into a clinch ;D
I do not think Haye v Klit and Pac Man and Floyd hate one another whereas Frazier clearly does with Ali and the same with MAB and Eric Morales.
Hopkins and Jones, Tyson and Holyfield are a few that quickly come to mind
Great post I agree fullyQuote:

Tyson and Rooney would be a classic reunion.
Marco and Erik get on fine now

What were they saying? Loved to know.
What about Mike Tyson and Teddy Atlas.
Bump
It always makes me feel bad that Frazier is carrying all that emotional weight. I wish he could let it go.
Mike Tyson and everybody. That guy needs to be loved.
It was good to see MAB and Morales getting together in that video. They made each other.
I believe Frazier and Ali have probably reconciled as much as they ever will. Joe seems to recognize that Ali is poor health, and that he's not doing all that great himself, so some amends have been made. I can however respect Frazier's reasons for feeling the way he does, and it's his right, some things in life, you just never forgive and forget.Quote:
