if you could change one moment in boxing what would it be?

As a fan, i wished RJJ would have retired after Tarver.

Honorable mentions:
Taylor gets to finish the fight vs Chavez.

Lewis gives Klitschko a rematch.

Andre Ward fights beterbiev and Bivol.

Miguel Cotto doesnt get ravaged by a juiced up Pacquiao and the whole Margarito disaster doesnt happen either(please dont start another discussion CJ)

 

I would change the Fan Man incident during Bowe VS Holyfield 2. Instead of the Fan Man flying into the ropes I would have liked to see him find his intended mark inside of the ring then accomplishing the double knockout in which he intended to do.
Its heartbreaking to see something so close but then so far.

 

If I could change a moment or two, it would be Ruby Goldstein's awareness of how many punches a defenceless fighter should be permitted to take, whilst not fighting back, 29 was ultimately too many .

 

Tyson not biting Holyfield, ultimately I wish Tyson would have taken his loss to Holyfield and trained harder and made adjustments to hopefully beat Holyfield in their second fight, resulting in a trilogy and the three fights would have gone down as the absolute pinnacle of 90's heavyweight

 

The moment when Ali was sent into exile.

 

other than reversing fatalities and severe long term injuries including magomed abdusalamov a fight i was in the audience for

Vitali vs Lennox II

 

Perhaps the fan man not coming into Riddick bowe vs Holyfield 2. Bowes wife would not have fainted, and Bowes head would have been more in the game.

 

Biggest for me would be for Ali deciding NEVER to fight again after Leon Spinks

 

Butterfly Effect - Mike doesn’t get to team up later with Evander to sell edible ears. Back to the womb and try again…..

 

That is a choice wish.

 

Norton duly getting the decision against Ali in their Rubber Match - with Ken no longer being unjustifiably labeled a Paper Champ.

Please don’t come at me @swagdelfadeel -

 

I'll allow it if Cleveland gets to come back from retirement and KO Norton to finally get the moment that was robbed of him 12 years prior.

 

Muhammad Ali to continue his boxing career as champion in 1967 and have several more title defenses against the likes of Thad Spencer, Oscar Bonavena, Leotis Martin, Joe Frazier, Jerry Quarry, and Buster Mathis going into 1971 leading to a rematch against Joe Frazier in March 1971.
