    Perhaps I didn't explain my idea clearly. I'm thinking that, using Foreman v Ali as an example, the fight never happened. It's not simply a matter of going back in time and thinking 'Well, I might have got that wrong', I mean if they had never fought but had their careers, judging on what we now know, if the fight was proposed as a fantasy match up like, say. Bowe v Dempsey for instance, who would you pick... I genuinely think I'd still pick Ali to beat Foreman and Holyfield to beat Tyson...but fantasy H2H I'd take Holyfield to whup Bowe, Ali to beat Frazier and Norton etc...
