    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.

    Louis and Charles would have beaten Marciano. Tucker would have beaten Seldon. Goddard would have have beaten Jeffries and Sharkey.

    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.
