    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.

    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.

    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

    I'd reinstate 'Brockton Block Buster' immediately.

    It shows how much attention I pay to this, I never even knew. BBB, don't know what you did wrong, but hopefully see you soon.

    Fanman never falling in the ring. Bowie would have very well retained that belt.

    There may have been a Bowe/Lewis fight by late '94, early '95 with the winner fighting parolee Mike Tyson.

    I'd reinstate same day weigh ins. The current system means we get light heavies today fighting at middle etc etc

    I heard a couple of rogue MODS are keeping him out, something to do with a 'bombastic personality' plus his weight, whatever that means.
    He might have to buy his way back in, whatever that means.

    That's all a bit profound.

    You beat me to it. I'm a huge fan of Meldrick Taylor (and Chavez), and think he deserved to win that fight, even though I think his career after outlive ended up the same regardless. Taylor was too tough for his own good but I would've loved to have seen him at least have the memory and pride from winning that fight.

    Bowie doesn't dump his belt in the trash and we get a owe vs Lewis for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Runner up is Ike Quartey and Tito Trinidad decide to fight each other instead of Oscar, who was the cash cow at the time. Both of those fights would've been classics.
