Stupid Fights that did not happen

[erics44]

I was thinking Haye v Briggs.

You can do better than that

Haye vs Briggs is alright....I mean for a part timer to fight an old timer that's alright I guess it maybe sets up a fight vs a better heavyweight for the winner, maybe the off chance at a voluntary title defense.

Haye vs Bellew...meh I guess some Brits want it, but I am not all that hyped up about it why would I be? Is Haye making another run at cruiserweight? Is Bellew going to make a run at heavyweight? What does the winner get? Does it improve Bellew's ranking as a cruiserweight if he wins? It certainly doesn't immediately mean he's ready to compete vs the other heavyweights does it? What does Haye get Money and a little more tv time but what else? Does it move him closer to fighting for a belt?

Ancient Larry Holmes against ancient George Foreman was being mooted at one point. I'm glad it never happened.

Mayweather against Golovkin was also a stupid match up that was being discussed.

Boxing being boxing, it's actually easier to list stupid fights that DID happen ...... Ali/Holmes, Leonard/Duran III, Louis/Marciano, Leonard/Camacho, Haye/anybody recently

Vitali vs Valuev was always a stupid fight I wanted to see....just the sheer size of those guys. It would have been a stupid fight because let's face it Vitali would have just decimated Valuev.

No one decimated Valuev, he was too big.

Valuev wasn't JUST big, he was durable, I give him that...but he wasn't going to fight either brother because he'd get KO'd


I'm happy that Chris Byrd and John Ruiz never fought....would any of the judges have been awake at the end? I think when you put him in the right situation Chris Byrd could be an exciting fighter, but vs someone else negative and more of a mauler I don't think it would have worked out. I just despise John Ruiz...he was a cagey SOB though I'll give him that.

Akinwande v Holyfield fell through, just had a feeling that would have been a borefest.

Tyson v Johnny Nelson would have been simply horrible.

Jones Jr vs Tyson
Jones Jr vs Douglas
Jones Jr vs Trinidad...before they were both near shot
Jones Jr vs Whitaker Thank Merchant for that one as it would settle "p4p supremacy".
Holyfield vs Tyson 3
