    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
    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    It would have been interesting, but I don't think it would have changed things that much. Tyson is a head case and he would have screwed Cus over at some point. Camille Ewald was his surrogate mother and only died a few years ago, but she didn't seem to have much influence on him.

    Tyson doesn't know the meaning of loyalty and I say that as a fan! He likes to blame everyone else for his mistakes and the long history of bad behaviour, but the fact is he's not a very nice person.

    Camile Ewald never had a say in Mikes career or probably had a clue what was going on. Cus made Mike and if he and Jim Jacobs had not died so early in Mikes career would King have really got a hold on Mike? I doubt it. King needed Mike to lose those influential people.

    Dropping the Ban on Brockton-Block-Buster.

    I push for immediate re-instatement.

    You should have pushed for Ali's ban just as harder.

    I honestly don't think it would have made any difference. Tyson is a self-destructive person and still behaved like an arsehole even when Cus was alive. He would have gone off the rails regardless.

    Maybe you are right but maybe he would have kept more of the money he lost as well.

    I'd transport back to Oct 22 1926 and camp outside Harry Grebs house and convince him to put off what was supposed to be routine surgery to his nose and throat. I'd tell him that he just had the glass eye put in a month earlier and it would be best to wait. Shit I'd throw him into the time machine or pick a fight lol.

    He may have had small altercations but he would have trained properly without King giving him everything he wanted. Mike Tyson knew who was responsible for his success early but King made him believe he didnt need them and they were a chain round his neck.

    You cannot compare those two periods of his career. King taking Mike and Mikes career turning to shit (compared to what it was) is more than just coincidence.

    I believe had Damato and Jacobs been around to steady Mike he would have had a similar longevity to Wlad now, only with the whole world wanting to see all his fights. Holyfield would have just been a good little scrap while it lasted with Tyson winning. Bowe would have been awesome and Lewis would have faced Mike instead of McCall. Potentially Mike becomes the greatest heavy ever.

    How about Walcott not dropping his hands allowing Marciano to counter him and retire undefeated.
