    I wish GGG / Canelo 1 had had any other judge than that old mole with glasses Adelaide Byrd.

    Eddie Cotton-Jose Torres, August 15, 1966, a date which is etched in my memory like no other.

    Lewis v Holyfield II. It was a perfect draw.

    Tyson v Holyfield. Without that bite it could be a great fight.

    Fury v Wilder I.

    Holmes v Spinks I. Holmes fought much better than Spinks.

    Foreman v Briggs. Foreman was clearly robbed

    Corrie Sanders v Vitali. Sanders heart deserved to win.

    Duran v Leonard II. That "No mas" remains even today one of the greatest misteries in boxing history.

    Lyle v Foreman. Unfortunately Lyle gassed out before Foreman and he lost that memorable slugfest.

    Usyk v Joshua. Usyk had to knock Bodybuilder out. But he and his cornermen preferred to handle the fight.

    Holyfield v Valuev. Holyfield was robbed.

    Hagler v Leonard. It was a draw.

    Mercer v Damiani. Damiani was largely leading the fight before that frightening uppercut on Damiani's nose by Mercer who won the fight.

    There was talk of Damiani fighting Tyson back then, the Mercer ft blew that.
    Could have been an interesting fight maybe!

    Youre right. I know Damiani refused to fight Tyson because Don King wanted to give him a very poor purse. There was talk even for a Holyfield v Damiani fight but Damiani suffered an injury some weeks before the fight. Damiani was a very good fighter, tough for everyone

    I'd love to see Tyson win by that uppercut. His victory would be disputed cause Douglas made him look bad. But that would wake him up to train properly and redeem himself after being embarrassed. He'd give Douglas a rematch, beat him convincingly and KO him, then he'd KO Roidifield (who wasn't that big yet) and Ruddock. After that, he'd have 2 money matches: 1 with Morrison and the other with Foreman. He'd KO both and retire undefeated.

    Hagler fights in southpaw from the beginning, beats Leonard's arse and then retires into the sunset.

    SRR doesn't underestimate him, and trains properly, winning by KO.

    Yes, I remember that proposed match with Holyfield' now. That's how EH ended up fighting Bert Cooper I believe.

    Damiani had the power of Cooney but a much better defence than him.

    He'd have probably beaten Turpin if trained well but I love his story beating the greatest middleweight ever.

    SRR is certainly the GOAT in my eyes, and clearly the greatest WW, but I dunno if he's also the greatest MW.
    Hagler and a few others might be more worthy in that weight category.

    Very good shout, it would've made him one of the most revered champions in boxing history as he deserved. I hate how robberies are a part of this sport.

    Ali - Foreman. I wish Foreman would have knocked his ass out in the 2nd round!

    You may have just given me a brain aneurism as my head is hurting from the possibilities.
