    1. Pacquiao-Mayweather in 2010.

    2. Pacquiao doesn't get greedy and try to land another shot just to walk into a right hand nuke

    3. Errol Spence doesn't fake that eye injury to pull out of the Pac fight setting up Pac-Crawford

    Pacquiao vs Mayweather didn’t become a highly anticipated fight until after Pac beat Cotto, which took place November 2009. Pacquiao vs Mayweather in 2010 was something that could have happened but sadly didn’t.

    I still believe that had Pac not got over anxious in the 4th JMM fight he would have eventually stopped him in the following rounds after. Perhaps we might have even gotten Pacquiao vs Mayweather the following year.

    Had Spence actually went in the Pac fight without getting his eye checked out he could have possibly have gotten a career ending injury. The injury wasn't fake at all.

    Correct, yeah. I'm just always thinking 2009 Cotto version of Pac, but yes, heading into 2010 in a showdown with Floyd. But I think people starting beating the Pac-Floyd drum after ODLH and Hatton.

    If Pac stopped Marquez, Floyd doesn't take the fight. Ever.

    Povetkin doesn't test positive and gets to fight Wilder

    Maybe I'd pick Junlong getting signed by Matchroom while he was young as Povetkin already had such a good career.

    Foreman breaking Ali's ribs in Zaire, and Ali quits on his stool.
    Ali fades into obscurity, Foreman invents a grill and lives off the fat of the land.

    GGG gets the decision he deserved against Canelo and becomes the biggest star in boxing.

    I always though that Povetkin at that time would have been Wilders Kryptonite, though we wouldn't have had the Fury trilogy if that was the case.

    With this change, Povetkin annihilates Wilder and the magnificent trilogy against Fury never takes place. She did a lot of good in boxing.

    If the first three things on your list happened, Roy would be on a pedestal with Robinson, Ali, Armstrong, etc.
