Boxing enemies that need to be friends

[Master]

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.

[:::PSL:::]

Marco and Erik

[Onix]

Bob Arum & Oscar De la Hoya

[Spicoli]

Hagler-Leonard talking it out over a cup would have been ppv worthy

[AdamGB]

Pacman and Floyd... they'd be able to get shit done and their accountants would thank them

[Majesty]

Floyd Mayweather Sr and Freddie Roach, just watching those two exchange once on youtube was hilarious they could have a sitcom together.

[THE THIRD MAN]

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

[Master]

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 fully

Hagler & Sugar Ray too. I read a while back in an interview with Hagler that he refuses to speak to Leonard now and still holds resentment after trying for years to get Leonard in the ring and then feeling completely robbed in the fight. Apparently he tried for an immediate rematch but they refused, then 5 years later Leonard offered him one and he told him to F*ck off because the only reason Leonard was interested in the rematch was to try and make money off him.

Tyson and Rooney would be a classic reunion.
