    Would have been good to see Naz at Super Bantam against Acero Sanchez, Zaragoza, Antonio Cermeno, Barrera. Barrera might just have been too much at any time but the others Naz would have wiped the floor with. Titles at Super Bantam were there for the taking and might have stopped Naz creeping onto my unfulfilled potential list.

    Nigel Benn v Roy Jones was a massive fight that should have happened.

    Froch v Calzaghe would have been another top fight too.

    There are always some fights people want to see.

    Barker v Murray v Macklin would have been good to see.

    not in the same league as the fights mentioned but does anyone remember (in the pre AJ days) when the biggest domestic HW fight that we had to look forward to was Fury v Price?

    didn't Fury once say that Bellew and Price were gay lovers, it was at the time that Price was hitting people like a train and Fury was uppercutting himself.

    Found it



    Interviewer - Calm down Tyson you live on Channel 5....go on then one more
    Fury then goes on to call Bellew and Price gay lovers

    The best fight never to happen as far as I'm concerned.

    Why was the Trinidad vs Mosely fight never a "thing"? I would have thought that early and late stages this would have happened.

    If Tito fought Vargas he could have fought Mosely at 154... or even when Mosely went to 154 Tito could have fought him when Mosely fought Vargas and/or Mayorga BOTH times.

    I think Tito took other big fights at middleweight rather than stay at the weight he started to dominate.

    I recall boxing magazines at the time saying Tito was beating a path towards Roy Jones.
