    Imagine if Wilder got the decision win against Fury in the first fight.

    That the rules of a boxer getting back into the ring unassisted if knocked out of ring was enforced, then Firpo would have been crowned as champ over Jack Dempsey which would mean the title would not have been put into storage for 3 years.

    Mr Firpo would have been defending it with gusto as he was in the game solely for the money.

    A better ref in, Ali v Liston 2, then we find out if Sonny could maybe have carried on.

    No deaths or severe injuries.

    One world champ per weight class.
    This isn’t a superhero movie with 27 different worlds…

    GGG doesn’t take the rematch with Canelo after he popped for drugs.
    He would have been known as the guy who beat a drug cheat and got ripped off instead of the guy who couldn’t beat Canelo in 3 fights. He chose the money, which I really don’t blame him for.

    Hagler wins the decision against SRL.
    Leonard would have still gotten huge props for giving Hagler fits after 4 years out of the ring.
    Hagler gets the win against a guy who screwed him over multiple times.
    Both their legacies remain untarnished and Hagler doesn’t go completely off the rails leading to drink, drugs and divorce…

    I'd like Turpin to win his rematch with Robinson (which he nearly did anyway) to see whether it creates a parallel universe where Turpin made a few more successful defences of the middleweight title and his life didn't fall apart later.

    But given that Turpin spent the money he earned almost straight away, I think it was almost inevitable that, whatever happened in the ring, he would find himself in a similar personal predicament anyway.
