Best Fight That Never Happened

[O_oliver]

If you could go back in time and make one fight happen that never did, what would it be? A prime Mayweather vs. Pacquiao? Tyson vs. Ali? Something else?
Let’s discuss the greatest "what if" fights in boxing history!

[Anomalocaris]

Prime Liston v Foreman.

Leonard and the Hitman v Pryor (without the magic bottle).

[GhostofDempsey]

Norton vs Frazier
LaMotta vs Graziano
Jones vs McClellan
Foster vs Torres
Pacquiao vs Valero
Mayweather vs Mosley at 135
Tyson vs Mercer
Lewis vs Bowe

[Nash out]

We saw prime Mayweather vs prime Pacquiao. Bowe vs Lewis, Wilder vs Joshua when they were both unbeaten would have been a great fight, Charlie Zelenoff vs Brian Sutherland, time machine wise Rocky Balboa vs Rocky Marciano, and the much rumoured Hulk Hogan vs Mike Tyson fight, before Tokyo Douglas beat Tyson, would have been a great bout. Nash out - His Majesty

[travestyny]

Dempsey vs. Wills

[drablj]

henry armstrong - charley burley
burley deserved it more than several of 18 contenders that armstrong defended his title against. maybe armstrong wouldn't be considered top5 ever if this fight happened. that's pretty big in my book.

foreman - holmes
~20 years in the same division, both champions, both top10 ever heavyweights and they are the exact same age. it's ridiculous this is only a fantasy fight.

bowe - lewis

[Willie Pep 229]

Heavyweight Fights that Should have Happened.

Sullivan-Mitchell (III BK to the finish)
Corbett-Jackson
Corbett-Fitzsimmons (II)
Johnson-Langford (for the title)
Dempsey-Wills
Tunney-Sharkey
Braddock-Schmeling
Louis-Conn (II) (in October 1942 not '46)
Marciano-Patterson
Clay-Liston (II) (sarcasm)
Ali-Foreman (II)
Foreman-Tyson
Bowe-Tyson
Bowe-Lewis

I have been so unmoved by the Brothers K, Fury, AJ, or Wilder that I can't think of a fight I wanted to see. In fact I didn't think much of the fights we did see except Fury-Wilder (I), that was a good fight.

- - I would say Dempsey/Wills because that became "The Peoples Fight" that Red Sox owner Harry Frazee tried to make that featured record purses and record Venues in Red Sox and then Yankee Stadiums.

It would have done a lot for the nascent Civil Rights movement and Politicians realizing that such a thing could happen that would've opened up opportunities for all.
