There are other variables of course like comebacks, how he lost, etc, but back to the topic; what fight in history would have changed the landscape of boxing the most if the other guy won? I'd have to say Ali-Frazier. That was probably one of the most significant fight during a difficult era. Had Ali won, not only would Frazier have been denied his greatest win, but 2 and 3 would likely have never happened. Also without that win, Frazier would have probably cut have cut his career even shorter and Cus DiAmato may have retired sooner and may have never discovered Mike Tyson. Any thoughts?
Cus D'amato and Joe Frazier? Someone correct me, but wasn't it Eddie Futch that train Frazier his whole career?
