    I don't think any of those fights change too much, other than the Young fight, I think Ali walks Young down as Young's legs tire

    Chuvalo would have killed his kidneys ending Ali his career.
    Ali becomes the second hw champion to retire undefeated.

    It is a silly thread.

    Better to ponder if Ali's big fights had been scheduled for 21 1/2 rounds of 2 minutes with 1 minute, 15-second rest periods and a 15-minute intermission.
