If you could change the outcome?

good call nameless.

Although both seemed to be "fixed" Ketchel-Johnson and Johnson-Langford....just think of Stanley Ketchel, the aura, the mystique that would surround that guy had he beaten Jack Johnson only to get shot at such a young age. Most posters think Sammy Langford got a raw deal because when Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title Sam got brushed aside...would be neat to think about how Sam Langford would have handled the belt.

How about this one...Harry Greb over Gene Tunney in the rematch....that may have lead to the fireworks display of Harry Greb vs Jack Dempsey!!!! AMAZING hypothetical matchup.

Any thoughts on these?

Roy Jones Jr. vs. Park Si-Hun – RJJ fucking deserved the gold !!! And the Olympic gold is more valuable than any WBSomething belt.

Winky should have got the nod over Taylor, then he wouldn't have been butthurt over HBO and he could have made a bunch of defenses of his title. Instead he got outcheated by B-Hop and then overwhelmed by Williams, sad sad sad.

Pernell Whitaker would only have 1 loss on his record in a perfect world, I would change all those decisions if I could.

Herol graham turning McCallum and getting a point deducted and losing title.

Herol Graham just avoiding Julian Jackson's right hand would have won the title.

Herol Graham having the legs to stay the distance against Brewer he would have won the title.

Jersey Joe Walt avoiding the Suzy Q and winning against the unbeaten Rocky

Even if Nady scored the knock down. Which he damn should of. The point deduction was legit. Barrera hit him while down and deserved to have a point taken away

For selfish reasons I'd call Judah vs Tszyu a NC so we could watch him get ko'd all over again.

No doubt only 2 fights would really effect boxing hstory if the results were changed:

Foreman vs frazier 1
foreman vs ali.

Tyson v Buster so that we could have got Tyson v Holyfield and the battle of the undefeated heavies.

wow very good thread....

if i really had the power to change a fight outcome it would be used on a fight were a fighter got brain damage or died.

alot of them fights ruined both boxers.... Eubank Watson is a prime example :(

How about having Armstrong come out on top of Robinson? That would have made 'Homicide Hank' the hands down greatest P4P fighter ever.

Foster over Frazier

Toney over RJJ...I wonder how Roy's career would have changed.

Cooper over Ali after the knockdown, if that was a DQ or TKO Ali may never have been heard from again

Gatti over Manfredy, that would have given us a prime vs prime Gatti-Mayweather bout.

Corrales-Clottey, I think that was the straw that may have broke the camel's back.

Duran V Leonard 2...The No Mas prevented a third fight in 1981

Hatton V Tszyu...i would have loved to have seen Tszyu fight Mayweather

Young V Foreman...George retires way to soon for what ever reason after this loss, no rematch with Ali and no Holmes?

good call on this one. the whole of boxing history may have been re-written. the same could be said when Henry Cooper knocked Clay down in June 1963. What if it had happened earlier in the round and also what if there was no torn glove

I wonder what would have happened if Schmeling beat Louis the second time round?
