Good thread, and three good choices. I would've loved to have seen a Hagler-Hearns rematch. I think Tommy lasts longer than 3 rounds in a rematch.
oh hell yeah, I forgot about that one. Yeah Hearns wouldve played it more slick and boxed I think (??) (didnt he already TRY that though???) I mean he sure wouldve done it a bit differently, seeing that you just cant take Hagler out with a single nuclear missile like he landed in Rd 1. I would go with Hagler in the rematch but more like maybe a KO 8Quote:

Oh come on everyone knows a rematch was in order there.Quote:

With all due respect I look back now on the way that they inflated Jeff Lacey's record and how they Champion him as being the Mike Tyson of his division and I can't help but think of people like Michael Grant and with all due respect it reminds me of Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder both of them are like the modern-day version of the Jeff Lacy phenomenon
Tyson v Douglas 2
Vitali v Lennox 2
Cooper v Clay 2
Hmmmm.....
Wlad-Fury 2: That fight was a fluke and Wlad was not mentally in that fight had he been he would have won.
Cotto-Pacquaio 2: I think Miguel Cotto with a trainer beats the dogshit out of Pac. Look how poorly he did vs Pac and how good he did vs Floyd...with a legit trainer in his corner Cotto is at the very least more competitive.
Vitali-Lewis 2: Up on the cards, fight stopped by a cut, Lennox bailed at the right time but it would have been a beautiful thing to see those guys fight after they prepared to fight each other instead of short notice. One of my favorite fights of all time, just a blood and guts battle between two absolute dreadnoughts!
Honorable mentions:
Wlad-Sanders 2: Corrie Sanders may have had Wlad's number, he was a hell of a puncher a rematch would have been very interesting.
Lomachenko-Salido 2: Salido weighing 147 on fight night & Laurence Cole reffing are hard odds to fight against....revenge would be very sweet.
I'll probably think of more later but yeah great thread Brock

Hatton vs Tszyu
Tua Ruiz. Ruiz ahead at the time, terrible stoppage etc etc.
It's a good one but unless they go back in time Hatton at that stage of his career was too relentless for the outcome to change IMOQuote:

Frampton v Quigg - so much potential ended up being a damp squib
I totally agree I think Hatton would probably have mauled him to death in six rounds in any rematch
Graham v Jackson 2 would be a great watch!
James Toney-Vassily Jirov 2: The first one was a very solid fight
RJJ-Toney 2: Why did this never happen? Sure the first was a blowout, but at light heavy or cruiserweight it would have been good and perhaps Toney wouldn't have been weight drained.
Joe Mesi-Monte Barrett 2: good solid fight very close, deserved a rematch
Wilfredo Gomez vs Salvador Sanchez II
Tua v Ike 2
Lewis v Mercer 2
Oh yeah that is awesome those two are awesome definitely. I forgot all about Ike versus tuaQuote:

Tito is right there something very fishy about that fight have Marvin Hagler could not seem to pull the trigger. Why Marvin Hagler chose to fight Orthodox for the first six rounds instead of walk straight through him in the Southpaw stance is beyond mystifying
Hamed v Barrera - would love to see that (formerly) little punk get pounded again!
Didn't Leonard tell repeatedly tell Hagler that he could not outbox him?
I wonder if that was part of it.
Hagler miscalculated when he fought orthodox and gave away vital rounds. One judge was just bias, corrupt or mental.Quote:

Especially an old veteran who knew the ropes and how judges can turn in dodgy decisions. "Fishy" is kind of an understatement with me. Then he walks away from boxing, having never settled the score.
