[Killa From Manila]

Morales-Marquez

[CGM]

Morales-Marquez

reps for the "Hatton out cold" pic in your sig.

Anyways, I see Salvador Sanchez got a few mentions, but none against the guy he really should have and could have fought, which was Eusebio Pedroza, a guy who is up near the top of my list of fighters who don't get their due.

edit: ok the reps will have to wait. Gotta spread it around a bit first. What a dumbass rule that is.

Shane mosley vs floyd mayweather jr at 135. After floyd stopped hernandez and manfredy,he was ready,imagine these two guys at 135,speed would have been even,mosley has the power advantage,I usually am never short on giving an prediction but I just have no clue how this fight would have turned out,its a shame we never saw it,they could have fought three times as three different weight classes,maybe even four times by now

Throw a Prime De la Hoya and Tito Trinidad in there too and PBF probably wouldn't still have that 0 he's so fond of on the end of his record.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Foreman V Holmes
(Big George's premature retirement robbed us of this matchup)
Pryor V Leonard
(Leonard's eye injury and Pryor's habit's robbed us of this possible 2-3 fight rivalry)
Sanchez V Nelson
(We got one fight, surely there would have been another)
Sanchez V Chavez
(With Sanchez dying so young, he would have turned 30 in 1989 we would have seen these two go at it for sure)
Chavez V Whitaker
(With the controversial draw, a 2nd and possible 3rd fight seemed logical to me, WTFH?)
Camacho V Rosario
(The first fight was so close, so why no rematch?)
Fenech V Zaragoza
I'm pulling this one out of left field due to the fantastic fight they gave us the first and only time they fought, i was always itching for a rematch of that one)
Tszyu V DLH
Both were at 140lb in 1996 and Tszyu had a reputation by this time as a giant killer, he had already notched up several wins against former World Champions and was the IBF king at this time. Shrewd thinking by DLH on this one.
Lewis V Bowe
(WTF?)
DLH V Trinidad
(These two should have fought again and maybe even a 3rd time, WTF?)
Hamed V MAB V Morales
(If the Prince was a real man he would have fought these guys at least twice each) Toad!
Mosley V PBF
(I have always wondered how PBF would handle Mosley)
Jones Jr V Calzaghe
(If these two had met 6-7 years ago then we would have seen something special)
I'll throw in Kessler too, we should have seen a rematch there.
I think the 'Plaster Caster' controversy will deprive us of a rematch with Cotto and Williams, Margarito's name is mud now.
