Change one event in boxing history.

[Bill Paxtom]

I'd reinstate 'Brockton Block Buster' immediately.

[SlimTrae]

Dempsey would've been whooped, but fights like Pep & Saddler would've been the same.
I think Benny Leonard would also have stayed atop the rankings.

[El Kabong]

Box history & world history would have to be re-written.
Jack Dempsey, gone & the dude that America's Hollywood made in his image (Clark Gabel) wouldn't of been able.

Gable would have still been around...Dempsey might not, but he wouldn't be a bum. Sam Langford would be THE household name and he'd take shine off of Jack Johnson's star that's for certain.

[Boxer4life]

Mayweather-Pacqiou is a fight of the decade candidate.

[Primo Carnera]

I'd reinstate 'Brockton Block Buster' immediately.

It shows how much attention I pay to this, I never even knew. BBB, don't know what you did wrong, but hopefully see you soon.

[YIDDLE]

This might be a bit of a cheat but I'd change the decision to destroy old film for the war effort in the states can you imagine what we might possibly still be able to view today

[Sleepwalker]

Oscar deciding to keep fighting as he did the first 9 rounds against Trinidad.

*awaits the inevitable defensive reply from Titofan* 5, 4, 3, 2,.......

[Sleepwalker]

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.

[X]

I'd reinstate same day weigh ins. The current system means we get light heavies today fighting at middle etc etc

[ross]

Cus Damato lives for another 10 years.

[tysonesque]

Cus Damato lives for another 10 years.

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.

[powerpuncher]

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

[beenKOed]

Ali was never born!

[No Contest]

Hagler gets the decision vs SRL.

[mikeeod]

I was going to say Ali's time off during what would have been his prime but, in second place, I'd let Meldrick Taylor survive those last 10 seconds against JCC.

You beat me to it. I'm a huge fan of Meldrick Taylor (and Chavez), and think he deserved to win that fight, even though I think his career after outlive ended up the same regardless. Taylor was too tough for his own good but I would've loved to have seen him at least have the memory and pride from winning that fight.
