    I’d change the result of Alexis Arguello v Vilomar Fernandez 1 in 1978 if it meant Arguello would meet Duran later that year for the lightweight title.

    Hopkins-Calzaghe. Always liked Bernard and never really liked Calzaghe. I feel Bernard deserved the decision in that fight to begin with.

    Mercer-Lewis. I agreed with the decision but it’d be interesting to see how a rematch would pan out

    Fact is, there never should have been a second fight as the first was so absolutely decisive, Eugenia Williams notwithstanding.

    And a draw for the second fight would be ALMOST as criminal as it was in the first.

    I'd give Norton the 3rd Ali fight since it was so blatantly obvious he won. He'd get his legitimate championship and a winning record over arguably the best HW which is a hell of an accomplishment. Even if the rest of his career was the same, that would be a great way to go out.

    My 2nd choice would be letting Young get the nod against Norton so he doesn't die a depressed, broke, drug addict. According to Young's family, that was the final straw that broke the Camel's back. His mental health had already been declining after so many disappointing decisions and he desperately wanted validation for his defensive skills. Perhaps if he had won at least 1 championship he could have had a happy ending.

    Arguello v. Pryor I.

    I've always been bothered by that special bottle that was mixed by Panama Lewis. And we know he was no bluffer when it came to cheating.
