    Monzon V Hagler 1978? (Could have happened, Monzon was 36 though)
    Foreman V Holmes 1979?(due to Foreman early retirement at age 30?)
    Duran V Pryor 1981? (This would have been a war)
    Duran V Cervantes 1979? (longtime Jr Welter king v longtime Lightweight king, one year before Leonard?)
    SRL V Pryor 1981? (All talk and it never happened, who was ducking who here?)
    Olivares V Jofre 1973? (Two greats at 126lb, what a fight!)
    Tszyu V DLH 1996? There was talk, i suspect DLH was not going to jeopardise his rise to fame with a fight like this)
    Mosley V Trinidad 2000? ( I think Trinidad just got too big to quick, he ballooned after the DLH fight )
    Chavez V Nelson 1990? (The fight that gotta away?)
    Lewis V Bowe 1995? (Very strange this never happened, again who was ducking who?)

    Greatest rematches that never happened:
    Ali v Foreman (Foreman retires)
    Whitaker V Chavez (Chavez ? draw my ass)
    Sanchez V Nelson ( Sanchez death)
    DLH V Trinidad ( after such a robbery, i am amazed it didn't happen)

    Naz has basically retired before Pac had even become mainstream.

    Tszyu /Phillips rematch.

    Dont think it would have changed much. I recon Phillips was just the one who had his number at that stage.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Not getting a winner from Eubank v Benn 2, therfore, not getting the winner v Nunn and probably kick starting some good cross Atlantic scraps involving Benn, Eubnak, Nunn, Toney and Jones.

    The originally slated Tyson v Holyfield would have been good.

    Jones v Darius??

    Check out round 3 when Phillips was almost stopped, Tszyu entered the ring at 138lb after suffering the shits the night before! Any rematch with Phillips would have been an early night for Tszyu.

    Agreed Tszyu would have cracked Phillips, cannot remember why they did not rematch.

    It was scheduled to happen, but Phillips lost to Terron Millett in 5 rounds February 1999 and that was the end of that. Millett lost to Judah and Tszyu V Judah finally happened in 2001.
