Fights where the result would have been different if the loser was in their prime

[IronDanLaw]

I saw this on another forum so I decided to post it here. Just give examples of fights where the loser would have won if they was in their prime.

Put them into two categories. Examples where theres NO DOUBT that the results woulda been different(example: Ali vs Berbick), and examples where its likely the results woulda been different, but where you could still make a case for the past-primed fighter losing(example: Tyson-Lewis).

I'll add my two cents later.

Well all of RJJ's losses except for the Montel Griffin DQ obviously.

There are so mnay, I don't know where to start

These are just general, not in categories...

Like Ice said - all of RJJ's losses

All of Tyson's losses

Whitaker v ODLH (Whitaker lost that fight only by virture of losing the 12th imo)

Benn v Collins

B-Hop v Calzaghe

Holyfield v Lewis (I think Prime Holyfield could've beaten Lewis - 50/50 fight imo)

A prime hopkins still gets whooped by calzaghe

As already been said anything with RJJ and tyson

I think Larry Holmes would be undefeated aswell, obviously he would still have alot of trouble vs prime Mike Tyson. But i still think he has the right style to beat Mike Tyson.

What about the 60's version of Muhammad Ali in the 70's ? would he have ever of lost ? as much as i don't like him, i actually can't see him being beat by Frazier, Norton, Holmes, Berbick, Spinks.
