    Me three, as you say things wouldnt have played out in the same way though....

    I would also have loved Liston to beat the count and pick his bad ass up off the floor in their second fight to see him take a real whuppin....again

    Few I can think of.

    For Bowe to not have ducked Lewis
    For Tyson not to have ducked Lewis in 96
    For Roy Jones to have stayed at heavyweight
    For Wlad to have fought Lewis instead of Sanders
    For Jones to have fought Tyson while at heavyweight
    For Tzyu to have fought Floyd instead of Hatton
    For Oscar to have gotten the nod over Trinidad

    For Ike not to have commited the crimes he did and have eventually fought Lewis and the Klitschkos

    Alexis Arguello swallows his pride, stays the **** away from Pryor, goes after Mamby, and becomes the first fighter in history to win world titles in 4 divisions!

    Tyson should have fought Holyfield imediately after Holy beat Dokes ....Then Holy would be 3-0 and it would shut up all the Tyson huggers for good!!!!!!!

    yes, moreso than losing to douglas, going to prison cost us fans years of exciting fights. after douglas, his motivation showed in the rudduck fights, tyson would've been an excellent hw (if not his absolute best) for several more years and wouldn't have totally imploded before mid to late 90s and by then we would've had 10 or so years of exciting fights.

    I would have Hearns coast in the last few rounds against Leonard in their first fight and grab the win.
