In your opinion, what is the biggest "What if?" in boxing?

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

what if bob arum didnt wake up...

[DondiNeverLeft]

what if Oscar fought Cotto instead of Manny

What if Whitaker didn't use cocaine how much more would he have accomplished

Cotto would be a bigger start today.

What if Gerald Mcclellan never left Emanuel Steward, or Benn was counted out in the 1st round?

Yeah that is a pretty cool one, I watched the documentary on that fight just yesterday actually. Worth a watch if you havent already seen it...

If Benn had been counted out, we would have not had to witness what followed for Mclellan thereafter.

valero diidnt die !!!!!

Yeah I agree, it would have been nice to see how his career would/should have played out. The Valero story was a sad one in the end.

If Golota wasnt a total nutjob.

If Martinez started boxing as a kid.

If Wlad had Vitalis chin.

If Pac got busted for roids.

If Floyd got busted for roids.

If Chavez Jr was dedicated to the sport since he was a kid.

If Bute had a chin :}

If Maligaggi had Baileys power.

If Trinidad and Oscar weren't idiots and tried to move up one too many and lose their souls in the proccess...

This is all just recent I can go on forever if I go into the 90s or 80s..etc.

What if Ali was in good health. Floyd would probably have fought Manny Pacquiao because he would have said my health come first, just look at Ali.

2 obvious ones are what if Cubans had been allowed to fight pro / What if black men had been allowed to fight whites when they couldn't

[$0uthpaw]

What if Teofilo Stevenson would've defected and turned pro ?

Yeah thats a good one I wouldn't have thought of that. A lot could/would have been very different way back in the day if the chance to turn down a challenger based on his ethnicity was never an option.

[SN!PER]

What if Teofilo Stevenson would've defected and turned pro ?

and Felix Savon
