Fights that should have happend

[Dark Lord Al]

In the 80's the fight i wanted to happen but didn't was a light flyweight fight between -
South Korea's Jung koo Chang and South Korea's Myung Woo Yuh.

Jung koo Chang won the WBC light flyweight title in 1983 , losing it in 89.

Myung Woo Yuh won the WBA light flyweight title in 1987 losing it in 91.

Both were tremendous fighters who could box and fight ( neither was regarded as a big puncher )
they both made around 15-17 defences of their titles.I think this would have been a classic match up, but with boxing politics we were never given the chance to see who was the better man.
This may not be the top of the list for you guys but please share your fights that never happend.

PS. another i would have loved to see if Bonecrusher hadnt spoiled it was TYSON V Whitherspoon , this was the best fight of the unification that never happend.
Also at feather Azumah Nelson v Barry Mcguigan this would have been a real classic.
Look forward to your posts guys.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Several come to mind here, Tszyu V DLH in 1997 may have happened if not for Phillips. At 140lb this would have been a huge fight for both fighters, i think DLH may have withstood Tszyu's power over 12 rounds and get a decision. (I still believe DLH ducked him)
Tszyu V Mayweather in 2005 if not for Hatton. Mayweather again by decision over Tszyu in 2005.
Tszyu V Mayweather a few years earlier and i pick Tszyu.

Whitaker V Chavez rematch. Whitaker deserved a rematch as the first fight was a disgraceful decision.

Ali V Foreman rematch. Not sure why this did not take place within 12 nonths of the Rumble, i think George may have had a chance in a second fight, Ali was not the same after the 3rd Frazier fight.

Jones jr V Hopkins rematch, I think Roy would have won again.

Duran V Cervantes at 140lb in the 70's, logical step up for Duran in the 70's as Cervantes was a long reigning champ at 140lb. Interesting that Cervantes fought a number of ex Duran opponents. I go for a Duran win though.

Leonard V Pryor in the 80's. now this would have been something, not sure why Pryor never moved up to 147lb, was he dodged? I pick Leonard but i'm uneasy about it.

Duran V Pryor in the early 80's, another blockbuster that should have happened. Duran is over 30 by this time and i think Pryor may have beaten him at this time.

Hamed V Morales. This should have happened and Erik would have Ko'd the Prince in this one.
Hamed was good and entertaining but not up to A grade standard as the Barrera fight proved.

For the Aussie fans out there Lionel Rose V Johnny Famechon should have happened, Rose lost to Olivares and Famechon had a controversial win over Harada forcing a rematch in Japan. I'm sure this fight could have been made if not for that. Famechon Ko'd Harada in the rematch and i believe he would have beaten Rose too.


Just a few that come to mind.

There are a lot of fights I wish Tito had made. Around 94 to 95 both Quartey and Whitaker were discussed but never made. Tito was never the smartest of guys and for the life of me I never understood why he sued Don King to get out of a contract and then signed with him again afterwards when Duva had two big fights waiting for him. He is still to this day loyal to Don King.

Also Mosley - Tito would have been great around 03. Both of them should've avoided Winky like the plague but neither of them were ever the type to duck anybody.

Good lists guys.

Tony Ayala Jr vs Any of the Fab Four (Duran, Hagler, Leonard, Hearns), providing he got by Moore (which I'm confident he would have).

[Eli_jr24]

trinidad v chavez!!
whitaker v Camacho!!
RJJ v Hopkins II

[Master]

I will take Ice Colds list as I am lazy:-

Joe Calzaghe vs Sven Ottke would be easy win for Joe who would beat him with on hand tied behind his back.
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Naseem Hamed - JMM would have beat him which is why Naz avoided the fight.
Razor Ruddock vs Evander Holyfield would have been a classic, with Holyfield winning.
Michael Spinks vs Marvin Hagler, damn difficult, Spinks on points
Earnie Shavers vs George Foreman, KO by Foreman

Mines would be :-

McCallum v Fab4 he beats Leonard and Duran at LM, looses to Hearns and Haglet at middleweight and

Herol Graham beating Eubanks and Watson points and stopping Benn in10.
