I think its insane to favor anybody over Anderson SIlva

Dana seems to finally be coming around to it. Once the Rashad Evans/Phil Davis and Chael Sonnen/Mark Munoz fights happen in the next couple weeks the next LHW and MW title fights should be set up with Jones/Evans and Silva/Sonnen II.
Those will be around the summertime barring any injuries and the superfight with Silva and Jones could happen by the end of the year as potentially Silva's last.

If JJ would stand with AS AS would have a chance. Thing is I'd just see JJ getting it onto the ground and just pound AS out.

Hendo will get a shot at JJ this year. There is some talk he might jump Evans for a title shot. There is too much work for JJ to do at LHW before superfights. Silva, on the other hand, has cleaned out the MW division.

Lot of good ones in here already. Most of the MMA one have been hit on already.
I agree with Holmes v Spinks. Homes would have destroyed him in a rematch.
Also, Holyfield v Tyson was supposed to happen, then got pushed back, then Tyson went to prison. We had to wait a good 4 years for it. I wish it would have happened in Tyson's prime before prison.

Ike Ibeabuchi vs Vitali Klitschko
They missed each other by a few years, I think. Ibeabuchi has been in prison since 1998 or '99 (definitely before 2000). Although the Klitschko's were both active at that time, they didnt hit mainstream appeal until the early 00's. Vitali didnt fight Lewis until '03 or '04.
Ike was a beast though and would have been a mega-superstar, IMO, if he wasnt so screwed up in the head. At the least he would have kept the heavyweight division relevant in the '00s. Lennox was reigning in the late 90's when Ike was tearing things up, so them two fighting is a big missed one.

Spinks Holmes 2. Holmes was jobbed and was chasing a record and was never given a chance at redemption. Spinks knew it was a job and never attempted to give him a rematch
Spinks won the first fight without any debate, it was UND. The rematch was their next fight and that was the one that was close, Spinks winning a split decision.

Trinidad/RJJ should've happened around the turn of the century
This is a good 90's fantasy P4P matchup, but they were seperated by 3 weight classes when in their prime. Felix was reigning Welterwight & Junior middleweight champ in the late 90's/early 00's while RJJ was Light Heavyweight champ throughout the late 90's.
I would have liked to see a Felix vs Oscar remtach. I would have also liked to see and Felix vs Ike Quartay (sp?) fight.

I think Brock vs Fedor, before before Brock lost to Cain and before Fedor lost to Werdum, would have been the biggest MMA PPV in history.

Lennox Lewis would've hurt Bowe
I don't know about that shite......wish we could have saw that fight though and Bowe/Tyson too, along with Tyson/Holyfield when it was supposed to happen.
