    For me it's either:

    Letting Meldrick Taylor continue on against Chavez and claiming his victory.

    or

    Eddie Futch letting Joe Frazier continue in the Thrilla in Manila. He could have won (possibly).

    I would undo the federal legislation that is suffocating boxing in the USA

    Watson wins his rematch with Eubank and is not turned into a vegetable in the process.

    I know it's just supposed to be one, but these are three good ones...

    1. Louis somehow defeated Marciano.

    2. Dempsey didn't fight Willard with a train track bolt in his right hand. Oh, and that he fought at least one of the elite black heavies of his time (Wills, McVea, or Jeannette).

    3. Robinson didn't pass out against Maxim.

    Calzaghe doesn't retire.
    He would be about 55-0 by now.

    That fight ****ed him up. I would have pushed the fight forwards a few years.

    Luis Resto never loaded and unppaded his gloves against Collins. That was a sad day for boxing.

    Roy Jones Jr. Would've never lost in the olympics.

    Roy Jones Jr. would've never lost to Griffin (But that revenge 1 rd KO was one of the greatest redemptions ever)

    Roy Jones Jr. Retires after beating Tarver the first time.

    Mike Tyson never goes to prison

    Zab Judah doesn't pull straight back with his hands down vs Kostya Tszyu
