Re: If you could change the outcome?
True, that was a robbery. And it was all down to corruption. Not much has changed since then really.Originally Posted by iwng100
I would also have liked to have seen Khans head split open instead of Barrera's. But being the gentleman that I am I would have been okay if the judges had gone all soft and gone for a NC.

Re: If you could change the outcome?
I've read all the ideas and there are really some very finds here but I still believe after having read it all that for the sake of boxing and on a human point of view, changing the Resto-Collins with a first round knock out for Collins with the glove scam being discovered rifht after would turn one of the most awful event into the happiest ending ever.

Re: If you could change the outcome?
Yes, I agree. I know I argued with you on this at the time but I changed my mind … you see, I’m a gentleman too.True, that was a robbery. And it was all down to corruption. Not much has changed since then really.
I would also have liked to have seen Khans head split open instead of Barrera's. But being the gentleman that I am I would have been okay if the judges had gone all soft and gone for a NC.
I also agree with Nameless, his instance is better than ours.

eubank-benn I
The whole country wanted nigel to shut the flash git up, when he got knocked out it almost seemed as if the world had stopped that night. Had we of known the issues surrounding benns weight we would of wrote him off straight away
But being british we naturally hyped him up so he could eventually be knocked down

Re: If you could change the outcome?
Agreed on that.If you could change the outcome to one fight what would it be and how do you think it would impact the boxing world?
For me it would have to be Hatton vs Mayweather, If Ricky had won English boxing fans would have gone wild it would be huge so many new fans would join the sport! No one could doubt him after that there would be no questions on how good he was and don't get me started on Mayweather! Ricky would have to be remembered as one of the best fighters of this era! I imagine showdowns with Mosley or Cotto in which case we may never have seen Margarito vs Cotto. So maybe we would still have the old Cotto who could go on and do god knows!but that is just my idea, ha! Go wild guys!
I spent what was left of my saving to go out to vegas for that fight.
Also I would like to point out Ricky had lots of non-English fans out supporting him in Vegas.Loads of Welsh,Scottish and even a few Irish were supporting him.
The whole of Britain and Ireland were hopping for a Hatton win.
Balls
I know I was hoping Hatton would win...until some idiot Hatton fans decided to boo the National Anthem
HTH, so Benn had trouble making weight? I had not heard that.

LoLman that would of been BAD!
Just wondering is all...
Schmeling himself wasn't pro nazi, so I'm not sure it would have given any long term merit to the Nazi propaganda machine.
Think how it would have changed Louis legacy....
