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

Had defending champion Ledwaba stopped a replacement fighter in the then unkown Manny Pacquiao... Barrera, Morales, Dela Hoya, and Hatton will would have had surely, better longevity to their careers, to say the least.

Just couldn't help yourself could you??

Well, at least the one beneficial impact of that is we wouldn't have tiresome posters such as yourself constantly looking to bring up their idol at any opportunity.

I'd say Ali-Frazier III was the one to pop to mind, especially as it was so close to going the other way. Ali-Foreman is another one, as that was the fight that really defined greatness.

Going with something different though, I'll side with Duran-Leonard II. Had Leonard not won, had there been no 'No Mas', we would have never had SRL-Hearns & I think it would have completely destroyed the subsequent fights of The Four Kings. Duran would have probably got KO'd by Hearns any way, but I reckon Hearns would box Hagler to a decision, similar to much of the fight with Leonard & there would not be the same mysticism around them. Similar to how there now isn't about Wilfred Benitez, who at the time many were saying was the successor to Sugar Ray Robinson.
