Change one event in boxing history.
If you were able to change one event in boxing history, which one would it be?
Personally, I'd prevent Salvador Sanchez's car crash.
Re: Change one event in boxing history.
I'm such a big Roy Jones fan I'd have had him retired after the 1st Tarver fight, like he was going to.
That's just a personal choice, obviously if I had the chance I would prevent a death like Salvador over letting RJJ retire with dignity.

Ali's religious conviction not to fight in Vietnam has no impact on his boxing career- giving us 1967-1970 worth of Ali fights.

I think if you do the crime, you do the time.
I don't see why religious convictions should get you special treatment...

Herol Graham dancing and not getting caught on the ropes against Jackson. Graham would have been champion and go on to beat Benn and Eubanks becoming a household name and millionaire.

I would change racism so that throughout the beginning of boxing history, all races of fighters got a fair shot at the title.
Re: Change one event in boxing history.
I was going to say Ali's time off during what would have been his prime but, in second place, I'd let Meldrick Taylor survive those last 10 seconds against JCC.
Re: Change one event in boxing history.
Mike Tyson knocks out Buster Douglas so that Tyson-Holyfield is the biggest heavyweight title fight since Ali-Frazier I.
Or Tyson doesn't go to jail and fights Riddick Bowe
Or Margarito is not allowed to load his wraps vs Cotto

Box history & world history would have to be re-written.
Jack Dempsey, gone & the dude that America's Hollywood made in his image (Clark Gabel) wouldn't of been able.
