What Fight Would Have Changed History The Most, If It Went The Other Way?

[The Fightfan]

I would have said Clay and Liston. If Liston beat him what would become of Clay. Would he have become Ali ? Would have fought Frazier? What the hell would havew happenend.

If Joe Louis wasn't knocked out by Schmeling the first time he would have been the greatest fighter to have ever laced up gloves.

I say World War 2...

What about Hopkins-De la Hoya, RJJ or Titio? Oscar wins and he and Hopkins switch places on the all-time great list. Suddenly all those middleweight defenses vs. nobodies look worse if the 1st time he steps up and fights a great fighter he loses. Tito is an all time great if he knocks out Bernard. Jones Jr. doesn't look as shiney with a real lose on his record early in the game as well.

Cassius Clay vs Henry Cooper.

Good call

Dempsey lost to Willard.
Ken Norton v Holmes

No 7 year reign from either heavyweight great.
