If you could change one event in boxing history...

I think it would have been interesting to see Tyson completely trained and focused for the Douglas fight - and how the next several years might have been different. Not saying him being 100% would have won him the fight, but if it had...

 

I'd either get Schmeling his title fight with Braddock after he beat Louis or make Dempsey stay more active as champion, then maybe he wouldn't have lost to Tunney twice. Maybe stop the headbutt in Mosley's first fight with Forrest to see if it would make a difference. Have Benny Leonard not foul out in his fight with with Jack Britton.

 

Bowe changes his mind and actually goes against his management and demands to fight Lewis after beating Holyfield. :deal

 

I would have preferred Roy staying at super middleweight and destroying Benn and Collins and even Eubank if he could have convinced him to fight him. I was a huge Roy fan until he left the most competitive division in boxing to fight an over the hill McCallum in a division devoid of talent. He could have been the greatest if he had wanted it enough.

 

Robinson - Basilio 3

 

Robinson to have seen the fight out and won against Maxim.

 

vitali had not been cut in his fight against lewis, then the fight would of cotinued and lewis could have knocked his ass out properly

 

This is a really hard question. I think I would have had Golota screw his head on straight and quit throwing low blows in his first fight with Bowe. He had the skills to be a dominant champ for ten years.

Other things I might have changed, I would sent Frazier out for the 15th round in his third fight with Ali. Muhammad was in worse shape than Frazier was and I think that Joe might have actually koed him.

I would have given the decision to Hagler over Lenoard because he clearly deserved it.

I would have given Jerry Quarry the decision over Jimmy Ellis in the heavyweight tournament because he deserved it and should have been a heavyweight champ for at least a little while.

I would give Glen Johnson better early management. This guy has the goods and could have been a real dominant champ. He was robbed several times and took too many bad fights.

 

Muhammad Ali never went to exile and have fought those 3 years he lost.

 

my favorite fighter of all time morales wins the decision against david diaz would be the first ever mexican to win titles in 4 divisions something chavez didn't accomplish..

 

Very unlikely IMHO. Frazier was well and truly done. Ali was in bad shape but not about to be KO'd by Frazier. I know Ali "collapsed" in the ring afterwards but I think that was part showman and part relief the fight was over.
