    Ali - Foreman. - If the count hadn't been fast, Foreman would have killed him.

    Holyfield - Valuev

    LMAO not really but Holyfield woulda been the new Foreman, oldest champ in history and his legacy improved like Hopkins with age

    barrera vs marquez

    jmm's belonging in the famous mexican trio would have been in serious doubt (although for the record i didn't have it that close....i think i had it 115-112 or something for marquez)

    Agree with ones mentioned before...

    But as a Brit I can't help but reflect on Eubank - Watson II. Watson dominated and was looking sure to win on all scorecards until the Eubank uppercut that changed the fight, and subsequently the path each of their lives took. Eubank stays world champion & continues on the fame & fortune ladder, while Watson battles for his life and against Brain Damage.

    Holyfield Valuev. Would have blown holys legacy through the roof, would have made it impossible hopkins to be crowned as oldest champion and we probably wouldn't have seen haye holyfield. And unfortunately for everyone we would have had to suffer holy v ruiz 4
