    Well at one time or another Trinidad vs. Norris and Quartey were scheduled to happen as well as Bowe vs. Lewis. Arum stole Norris away becasue he wanted him to fight Oscar but Terry's chin got in the way and got KO'd. $4mil down the drain.

    Trinidad-Quartey was Kings way of calling Arum bluff about a fight with Oscar.

    Not sure why Bowe never fought Lewis back in 92-93 when he was champ. I guess the foggy memory of getting dusted in the Olympics was still on his mind.

    That would have been a good fight; hadn't thought about that one.

    There sure is alot of dislike for Witter; I almost feel bad for him.

    I'd still like to see Pavlik/Abraham fight at MW. Kelly's not undefeated any more, but at 160 he still hasn't been bested though it looks like Abraham has made the leap to SMW and Kelly will soon follow I'd imagine.

    I would have LOVED to see Tszyu vs Floyd or Hoya, also Tyson Tua

    Witter is a tosser. Can't stand him. His whole career has been based on insulting Ricky Hatton and chasing him. Maybe if Junior had spent a little more time obsessing about his own career he'd have achieved half of what Ricky did.
