Ok, what were some of the best fights that never came off. I'll start it off with 2 suggestions that no-one probably would have thought of.
Larry Holmes vs George Foreman 1979 and Larry Holmes vs Teofilio Stevenson 1980.

A fight that should have happened in the late 80s-early 90s was Virgil Hill-"Prince" Charles Williams. Each held a share of the light heavyweight title, but Hills' connections wouldn't let him fight the Prince, who was the only light heavy at that time who may have been able to beat him.

The blogbaba's list has mostly already been mentioned in prior answers, I will give thumbs up to Henry for LIston vs Shavers & Forman, Bundini for Bowe/Lewis, Slick Hitter for Pryor/Leonard, Bru for Benetiz/Hagler, Incridible for Lopez/Carbajal, Joe for Duran/Arguello, and Zebbi gets a double for Mancini/Pryor & Arguello/Sanchez.
The blogbaba adds:
Thomas Hearns vs John "the beast" Mugabi
Gerald McClellen vs James Toney at 160
Roy Jones Jr. at 160
Bernard Hopkins at 160
all three would have been something, but Gerald got hurt.
James Toney vs Michael Moorer at 175
Roy Jones Jr. vs Michael Moorer at 175
Bernard Hopkins vs Michael Moorer at 175
Roberto Duran vs Aaron Pryor at 135
Zebbi got the best of the best by Picking Salvador Sanchez vs Alexis Arguello, great light weight matchup Joe's with Duran vs Sanchez was also top notch.

Joe Frazier vs Ken Norton

Before he got beat by Bernard Hopkins there was talk of Trinidad & Roy Jones Jr.
Lennox Lewis vs Riddick Bowe, that didn't happen because Bowe only fought smaller fighters. When he fought someone his size he got beat up.
Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield before Tyson went to jail.
Tyson vs Lewis & or Bowe before jail.
Sugar Ray Leonard & Aaron the hawk Prior

I would have said Forman -Holmes. But, since you already mentioned that one, I'd say Ali - Forman II. Ali ended up fighting Frazier for the 3rd time. Honorable mention goes to Bowe - Lewis.
How about Ray Leonard vs. Aaron Pryor. Oooooh Weeee! Leonard would have had to been ready to fight every second of every round.
