    What if Lamont Brewster was able to continue his career.

    What if Vitali was brave enough to face Rahman in 2005.

    What if Floyd takes the test?

    And last but not least what if Leonard Ellerbe was not a homo.

    If I'm not mistaken, that's the same fight the referee suffered from heat exhaustion and had to be replaced. The temperature was 104 that day & Robinson got violently sick afterwards.

    Maxim's manager, Jack Kearns made it out that Robinson was using the heat as an excuse to quit the fight. According to Kearns, Maxim was about to KO Robinson in the next round (Round 14).

    What if Cus D'amato hadn't died and Tyson had kept his original training team throughout his career.

    What if Ali hadn't have been banned for those 3-4 years?

    What if Pacquaio had gotten JMM out of there in the first round of their first fight (or if some British refereeing had taken place :p)

    What if the first Froch-Groves fight hadn't have been stopped?

    What if Cuban amateurs, such as Stevenson, could have or had went professional?

    What if there was only one sanctioning body?

    What if illegal drugs and PEDs didn't exist in boxing?

    Ive always pondered how the boxing landscape would have been if Cus D'amato remained alive. The whole Heavyweight picture from that sad day back in November 1985 was forever changed.

    -Man, what could have been with Tyson...scary to think about...
    -Ali would have continued to whup ass in the heavyweight division. No one could beat a mobile/dancing Ali over 15 rounds back then. Not even Frazier (RIP, Champ)...
    -JMM would have bounced back but never would have gotten a rematch with Pac because of the one-sided beat-down/ass whupping he received. Gotta remember Pac beat him like he stole something...but we never would have witnessed Manny's hibernation on that fateful night...
    -Groves would have won...
    -Stevenson would have put up a good fight against Ali but The Greatest would prevail largely based on his experience...
    -The world would be a better place...
    -Probably would have seen the May-pac fight already...but then again, who the fvck knows...:roll:
