jones jr-hopkins II
hamed-morales
hatton-witter i presume has already been mentioned

sky built that up like hell for years presuming 2 british welterweight world champions were gonna obviously gonna have to fight one another.

Shame witter couldnt of got himself over in america as the fight would definitely of happened. If he had of beaten bradley and still be champ ive no doubt there would of been enough hype to get the fight over stateside!!

I can't believe more people haven't mentioned Trinidad vs. Mosley. That fight would have been awesome. The other one I always wanted to see was Winky Wright vs. Oscar De La Hoya but I mentioned the Trinidad vs. Mosley fight first as I think it would have been a more entertaining fight.

de la hoya-wright was always a strange one for me as to why it didnt happen

Oscar, sugar shane, winky and vargas seemed to primarily fight one another all the time. Im pretty sure thats the only fight that didnt happen between those 4!!

Add Trinidad and Mayorga to that list as well. All 6 of those made 147/154 very entertaining to watch.

Add Vernon Forrest in as well then. Just on this whole why Oscar thing, people always say that he didn't duck the best, but in truth he never fought any of the best guys at 147 or 154 if they weren't bringing a load of cash. That's cool it is a business after all, but it gets on my nerves when people say he always went after the best, then he should of focused on fighting one of Forrest or Winky at 154 at some point this decade. He always went after the Pound For Pound champ (Shane, B-Hop, PBF, Pac) because of the money it brought rather than fight legitimate threats around those weights. I'm a big fan of Oscar but it seems since he retired people are looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles. Personally I give Mosley the most credit, I think he was always a weight division behind Trinidad (ie Shane 135:Tito 147, Shane 147: Tito 154, Shane 154: Tito 160) and that's why that never happened.
