    OMG indeed.
    What about SRR never winning a title fight despite numerous attempts?
    He'd still be the GOAT.

    Weren’t nothing to do with bad luck. Holmes was cherry picking ever since Witherspoon gave him the fright of his life in 83. With Marciano’s record so close he weren’t taking any chances. Even gave up the wbc title to avoid fighting Page or Witherspoon again. Yeah he was one of the greatest at his best but you could see that he knew he was on the decline by cherry picking people like Frank, Marvis, Smith, Bey , Williams an Spinks so weren’t nothing to do with bad luck him being beaten by Spinks more like bad judgement

    Witherspoon over Mercer....maybe Tim finally gets a title shot after this.

    Holmes vs Holyfield to get Holmes vs Foreman. I'll also take Holmes over McCall

    Castillo beating FMJ. Not because I hate May weather, I just hate the amount of promoters and fighters who now covet the "0" like it's the holy grail and the casual fans thinking being undefeated really really means something. I'm not saying this hasn't been a problem for a while, but its been exacerbated.

    Charles over Marciano I or II.

    It is not clear whether we are playing god here, or simply reversion and arguably unjust decision.

    I would say Wilder vs fury one. Instead of a long count, fury gets counted out. Wilder continues to impress and somewhat pulls the wool over our eyes and continue s his wrecking ball, knockout artist of a career by then kayoing Joshua, and then we'll talk legacy or who's next ...

    I am glad that didn't happen, and appropriate to you post name, I had a huge bet on AA to beat Watt, couldn't see any way on God's earth how Jim would win, mind you he did well to last the 15.
    stay safe guys.

    Gerald McClellan was a disaster waiting to happen, he said after the Julian Jackson fights he was suffering from bad headaches. It was a mixture of his rough sparring sessions he was having, and the ridiculous punches he took off a monster puncher like Jackson. I think even without the Nigel Benn fight he would of ended up having brain trauma regardless.

    Spinks Holmes II- I never had Holmes winning by less than three points. Imo he of all people should have been the third man to win the heavyweight title twice.

    Golota-Bowe II- They should have tallied up the scorecards or something. That was a horribly undeserved win.

    Hagler-Leonard- Leonard had flashes of brilliance, but in the second half it was all flash and no substance. Never had him winning, never had Hagler losing by less than two points. Hagler deserved better, even though this admittedly wasn't him at his best.

    I don't want to change a bad decision (even though Holmes-Spinks 2 cost me more money than I want to think about). I would change the result of Leonard-Hearns 1. Hearn's didn't have to win any of the last three rounds to win the fight but he couldn't find a way to avoid Leonard's punches.
