    This would be on my list too. Added to it was the promoter Top Rank allowing it when McGuigan could have continued to fight bigger paydays for them later. Why sacrifice that? Dumb all the way around.

    Well the most recent one i can think of is id change it so that Jermain Taylor won the rematch against Pavlik, in a way him being knocked out i the first fight gained him some respect from people that were previously calling him a fraud, so i wouldnt change that. But imagine if he came back and beat the man who previously knocked him out vicously, not many fighter have accomplished that (and he nearly done it to).

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:, damn man i feel like an ass for defending floyd IF he stays retired, I swear this better be a publicity stunt.

    Or else the FRAUD, JOY, GAYRUNNER all those silly nicknames you came up with, I couldnt stop you. And he wouldve ducked Cotto. That i couldnt argue either, so I hope this is a bad dream im having

    Castillo wouldn't have gotten robbed in the first fight with PBF. And also that the judges in the DLH/Tito match were actually watching the fight. I don't understand how Tito won that ****.

    I also wish Iron Mike would have never ****ed up and went to jail.

    Actually it may be worse, if he doesnt stay retired and fights Hatton instead of the Cotto-AM winner.

    BTW, I can only take credit for coming up with "Fraud Groupie" . . .the other gems belong to someone else.

    The decision to cut championship fights from 15 to 12 rounds.


    They should at least have changed it to 13 rounds!

    GEMS :lol::lol::lol:, I dont want to see him come back and fight Hatton. If its not the winner of Margarito vs Cotto, then stay retired.

    For purely selfish reasons, Jeff Fenech winning a wide ud aginst Nelson in their first fight instead of a draw.

    If I had to choose one that wasn't of a benefit to me, I'd go with Ramshall1's suggestion.
