    How would the history of boxing be different . Which ATG would have squeezed out and which cuban and Eastern European fighters would have replaced them and why ? .

    Teofilio Stevenson was touted as a likely pro champ but I had my doubts, aganst him he had Ali, Frazier, Norton , Shavers and all the othe above average heavyweights to contend with.

    he could have very easily debuted (pete radamacher style) against Muhammed Ali in place of Leon Spinks. That would have been a very interesting fight.

    I think we would get at least one aditional lineal champion in each weight class.
