    Excellent list, albeit not both ATGs.

    No but it’s no easy fight for ali, Archie was a tough one at heavyweight for sure

    This whole thing is kind silly tbh. I mean, basically every great fighter's career breakthroughs come through the form of beating up old greats early in their careers.

    Well, it’s not a thread designed to denigrate great fighters, just to postulate on whether the outcome of those encounters would have been different if both fighters had met in their primes. The first post in the thread explains that. Had to break up the title otherwise it would have been too long!

    And there are plenty of examples where the result may have remained the same e.g. Sugar Ray Robinson v Henry Armstrong.

    @William Walker I’ve updated the thread title to hopefully make it clearer.

    I'm not sure Olivares was shot by that point either.

    I don’t see it. Robinson would always have beaten Armstrong.

    Holyfield was by no means shot in those fights.
