Stupid Fights that did not happen

[X]

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

....I hate to break it to you but RJJ vs Trinidad happened


RJJ vs Tyson would have been interesting.


Tyson vs Vitali wouldn't have been good thank Danny Williams for stopping that from happening

You missed the 'before they were near shot' part . Jones was dropping Trinidads name when he was 168 going on 175 and Tito was still a welter. Stupid if it had happened then and when it did. I think Jones and the media we're clamoring for Tyson/heavyweight move cause boredom had set in with 175 mismatches. And he had work to do with the German fella? He would have lined his pockets PPV wise with a patched back together Tyson (who probably would have lost shot win or lose at Lewis) but arguably he self sabotaged himself longevity wise with Ruiz move to heavyweight and was all down hill. I mean if his pop called a near diabetic coma Douglas "too dangerous" why in the world think Tyson any less
