    Write your favorites what ifs? Imagine how history would turned out if Floyd lost to Castillo or Tyson defeated Lewis, or go even further back and have Ali lose to Foreman,explain your what ifs? and have fun.Thank you.

    What if Tyson didnt get beat by Buster? Simple. Tyson would dominate for the rest of the year and have a super fight with Evander Holyfield.

    Most of my "what if's" revolve around Tyson, and we all know what those are..

    What if Castillo would have went down and taken a count before Weeks stopped the fight in Corrales/Castillo I

    What if Toney would have stayed at Cruiser

    What if Benn would have been counted out in the first round against McClelland

    What if Dempsey would have been counted out in the second round against Firpo

    What if Judah was more disciplined

    What if Hamed would have put some effort into a comeback

    What if Klitschko/Lewis hadn't been stopped

    What if Tarver hadn't caught Roy with that punch in the second round of Jones/Tarver II

    What if Ray Leonard had not retired in 1982.Would McCrory, Curry, and Starling have given him good fights?
    What if Super Greg Page had not signed with Don King.Could he have ended up with WBA belt and challenged Holmes at a later date?
    What if Howard Davis Jr. had beaten Jim Watt.Could he have held on to the belt more than a year?

    What if Tommy Hearns had the chin of Marvin Hagler? Would he ever be beaten?

    What if Tyson died in a plane crash flying into Japan for the Douglas fight? How would people rate/view him these days?

    I think he would be much more than that. Marciano never looked unbeatable and didn't dominate top fighters easily the way Tyson did in the 80's. Tyson dying before the Douglas fight would make his legacy unreal. There would still be people today saying no one in the past or present could ever beat him. Also, his image wouldn't be that of an absolute maniac who served time for **** and had drug problems.

    The best thing that could have happen to Tyson LEGACY WISE would be him dying before that fight. I don't think anyone would argue with that.
