if you could change the outcome of one fight in the history of boxing, what fight would it be, what would you change it to and why?
for me, i'd change baldomir's TKO over gatti to a UD win for gatti. if gatti won that fight (and he could have, too), he would've been recognized as THE welterweight champion. he would have been a three division champion and would have won the biggest fight of his life.
I'd change:
Tyson vs Williams to Tyson by T/KO
Tyson vs Mcbride to Tyson by T/KO
Tyson vs Holyfield II to Holyfield by UD
The reason; Tyson literally quit in those fights and really ruined his legacy IMO.
Yeah, but Gerald was such a worthless human being that the state Benn left him in after the fight was a blessing compared to what he really deserved.
Are you serious?
I loved the way McClelland fought. And he didn't come off as a thug or jerk or criminal or baby molester. Lots of his fellow fighters respected him.
arturo godoy v/s joe louis
if godoy would have won, that would have been amazing. a chilean heavyweight champion of the world, wow that sounds cool.
for a chilean even having a title opportunity now is a dream :P...
Corrales' corner doesn't stop the fight against Mayweather after the fifth knockdown. Instead he goes back to his corner wobbled. Chico is still buzzed at the start of the next round, and Floyd senses that he can get his guy out of there. He swarms Diego, throwing quick combinations, Chico stumbles back towards the ropes. Floyd goes to chase just as Corrales unloads a monster left hook that lands cleanly on Floyd's chin, the only one that has landed cleanly all night. Floyd is more buzzed than he has ever been in his career and ever will be again. Chico is coming forward now, a new urgency in his step as he senses the time has turned. He unleashes a blistering right hand that has Mayweather on his heels. Floyd tries to clinch now, but can't seem to find his way through a barrage of Corrales power shots. A crunching left uppercut snaps the Pretty Boy's head back and he crumbles to the canvas. The referee stands over and starts to count, but he stops when he reaches the count of five and waves his arms in the air. There is no need to continue, Floyd's not getting up. Diego Corrales has just won the most high profile fight of his young career.
I agree on this one. But Taylor suddenly getting off the ropes, trading with Chavez to end the fight.
I have to add another one. Nothing really about how they fought but the judges score. Correct the score of that 1 judge from 10-7 to 10-6 giving Pacquiao a majorityd decision over JMM.:banana:
In MMA, Ken Shamrock beating Royce Gracie in both of their matches, decision goes to Ken over Don Frye, and him beating Tito Ortiz in all their 3 fights.
lol, Ken is a tool.
if he stuck around instead of going to the WWF he might have been the HW champ at some point.
Id change his first fight with Tito though 4sho
This isn't a fight, but I wish Naz didn't retire. Even though I am not a big fan of his, he brought exciting fights. He could have had fights with Morales, JMM, and Pac. He might have lost all of them, but who knows at least they would have been exciting.
meldrick taylor gets the chance to finish the fight against chavez. if you are a boxing fan then you should recognize that he deserved to finish like the brave man he was.

Joe Calzaghe vs Robin Reid... Reid deserve the win that night :owned: Calzaghe got his undefeated record padded in his home-town
No. He deserved to get knocked out. Reid did nothing to take the "W". He considered living with Calzaghe a win in itself.
Yeah, but Gerald was such a worthless human being that the state Benn left him in after the fight was a blessing compared to what he really deserved.
really? I should read up about that
Id change Ali Vs. Holmes
Tyson Vs. Douglas
Tszyu Vs. Hatton
Fenech V. Nelson, although anyone who watches that fight knows who REALLY won
