End of career losses

Losses at the end of fighters careers that would undoubtably gone the other way

Just reading about tommy coyle and he seems like a good guy and is having a decent career but looking back through his record the fight against katsidis stands out

How would that one have panned out with katsidis in his prime?

Another example that stands out to me is Nigel Benn v Steve Collins

Thing with that one is tho, prime v prime I think Benn would have won but it would have been lot closer than coyle v katsidis, know what I mean?

Benn was finished by the time he fought Steve. A peak Benn would have hurt Steve, who would be strong enough to take the bombs, and battered him.

A peak Eubanks would have beaten Steve Collins.

I think Joe Calzaghe would have beaten them all.

Prime RJJ and Hop WOULD NEVER EVER have lost to Cal-slappy.

And Hagler......pffffft..... 6 rounds tops.

Whitaker would have danced circles around Trinidad had they fought in 1994/5 like they should have. Don King kept Felix away from this fight to protect his record. Instead, he fought an aged, coked up version of Sweet Pea years later.

Ali would have taken out berbek in 4 rounds in his prime

Prime Mike McCallum had trouble with Steve Collins, and he was a better fighter than Benn or Eubanks, don't think those examples are a given. Collins actually get's a bit underrated for fighting those guys at the end of their careers, he had done well in just as deep beforehand.

I think maybe Roy Jones vs Danny Green would have had a different outcome in 1995. How about Tyson vs Kevin McBride in 1988. Holyfield would have probably beaten Valuev a bit easier in 1993, that kind of thing?

Steve Collins got lucky he was a
limited tough nut. Never rated him Calzaghe would given him a boxing lesson simple. He beat a well over the hill Benn , and Eubank let him off the hook.
When I think about boxing Steve Collins never comes to mind.!
Sorry more forgetful than memorabil .

Tito beat some top hungry dangerous undefeated fighters at the time in Carr and Campus so please be kinder to Felix than that.
