    The Luis Resto/Panama Lewis-Billy Collins Jr. incident on June 16, 1983. Resto had no padding on his gloves and had dipped his hand wraps in Plaster of Paris. The unbeaten Collins suffered a torn iris and permanently blurred vision, ending his boxing career. He wound up killing himself.

    McClellan stopping Benn in the first round so he wouldn't be permanently injured, and then he'd go on to fight Roy in his next fight and get KO'd. Then Jones would finally get some of the credit he deserves(Though he probably still wouldn't).

    Keep 15 round limit. Then people would stop bitching about the Chavez-Taylor fight.

    Not as many weight classes
    PBF/Pacman being signed
    Margarito to not cheat
    For fights to never leave regular network television

    The world would be much better.

    Castillo got the right decision against Floyd
    There is no zero to protect and Floyd goes down as arguably the goat, at least of the modern era

    I honestly think if he continued his career the way he started it? He would be right up there with the very best. Certainly had the talent, but was invested in the zero, which to be fair made him a very rich man

    This. We'll never know the man's true potential as he had 3 prime years robbed from him, and it clearly worsened his remaining years as well. Just imagining a prime tyson vs holyfield, foreman, morrison... it's a damn shame.

    Yeah, but the way those last few rounds were headed Taylor would have left that ring in a body bag.
