Great fights that never happened?

Calzaghe Vs. Ottke
Eubank Vs. Toney
Benn Vs. Toney
Jones Vs. Michaleskew (spelling incorrect i believe)
Sam Langford Vs. Jack Johnson (for the title)
James J. Braddock Vs. Max Schmeling
Tyson Vs. Bowe

And the greatest fight spanning the ages that never could have happened -

Sugar Ray Robinson Vs Sugar Ray Leanord.

I disagree.  I think the top ten are as follows - 1 Calzaghe 2 Haye 3 Hatton 4 Witter 5 Khan 6 Woods 7 Froch 8 Maccarenelli 9 Mitchell 10 Johansson.  I know some of these seem controversial, but i think Haye belongs on ahead of Hatton for a couple of reasons, the first being that he beat the best and mopped up the titles faster and took on better opponents at the embryonic stage of his career and secondly the old adage - a great boxer always beats a great slugger. Khan is up there and i felt he ties with Woods but before very long he will have leapfrogged him and probably all but Calzaghe and Haye therefore his potential and constant improvement gives him the edge.  And Johansson is there because after all the talk of him being a bottle job he went and gave Mitchell the fight of his life and i felt personally he was wining the fight before getting caught with the great shot that accounted for him.
