    Dempsey catches up with Tunney eventually after being behind on the cards early on.
    Louis stops Marciano late in the fight after being knocked down himself.

    There’s a good chance that Prime Mike Tyson would have beaten Jake Paul.

    This is a question mark. Holmes may have beaten Ali at least once in a trilogy

    Marvin Hagler would have beaten Sugar Ray Leonard had they met in 1982 as originally mooted.

    I’m confident that a prime Larry Holmes would have beaten Michael Spinks at any stage of Spinks career though Spinks style would still have made it awkward for him.
