Salvador Sanchez hadn't been taken so young Gomez would've beat him in a rematch.
Hagler v Leonard was a 15 round fight Same outcome. Bad tactical fight by Hagler.
Jones Jr. had never gone to heavyweight Would've gotten bored and lost sooner.
Ali had joined the U.S. Military and not had a layoff. No effect. Would've still been inactive professionally.
Monzon came along 15 years later. Would've had a true classic for the ages against Hagler.
Salvador Sanchez hadn't been taken so young Gomez would've beat him in a rematch. Seriously? Have you seen there first fight? Sanchez DOMINATED Gomez. There is no way he wins a rematch.

Gomez didn't take Sanchez seriously for their 1st fight and did not train properly. For a rematch he would've trained in earnest. Not saying a win was a sure thing... but a loss wasn't a given, either. In any case, Gomez reportedly was very frustrated that he never got the chance to make amends for the 1st fight.
