Hagler-Leonard
Lewis-McCall I and Rahman I it makes him look like he had a dodgy chin when he actually took massive shots
Tyson-Douglas Maybe Tyson would've got his act together if he's won by slim decision
Ike Ibeachi vs the courts he deserved the sentence he got but he's wasted talent could've done so much in the division.
Absolutely spot on, Lewis had a great chin. One of the biggest myths in boxing is that he couldn't take a punch.
Oscar De La Hoya - Sturm
Forrest - Quartey
Winky - Hopkins(not a win for winky but the scores were horrible..117-111 the fight could've gone either way)
What if you could change 3 results in the history of boxing, what would those fights be.
* Meldrick Taylor getting the benefit of the doubt for those last few seconds.
* Roy Jones beating Antonio Tarver in the 2nd fight, and retiring.
* Bernard Hopkins winning a decision or at least a draw in the first match against Taylor..

Castillo Vs Mayweather
Why?
because Castillo actually beat him. In fact, he beat him easily. He landed more punches, landed more power punches, tossed more punches and had a higher connect percentage.
1. I wish that Stanley Ketchel would not have been shot in the back and killed at age 26. Or that Salvador Sanchez wouldn't have been killed in that car wreck. Etc. So my first pick would be for all the fighters who ever died young and still in their prime fighting range to have lived longer.
2. I wish Gerald McClelland, Greg Page and those other guys who almost died in the ring would have good health and be able to live normal lives again.
3. For actual fights, I wish Sonny Liston had fought his a$$ off in that return bout with Ali.
tito vs odlh even though it was a good lesson for odlh he still should have won
odlh vs sturm was a robbery as well that odlh lost
roys disqualification was bs

All three were highway robberies and should be reversed. Some people here are talking about fights where opponents should have done something like Lennox losing to Tyson and that should be reversed...that is rediculous Tyson was manhandled. These fights are more realistic in that the acutal winners were voted against and there are a lot more robberies out there but these are the first to come to mind presently.
I will not take away much from the fights and only change the results the way they should have been if it wasn't for that "IF" factor

Hopkins/Taylor I -- this is clearly one of the most picked ones. If Hopkins had earned at least the draw that he was robbed of by Ford scoring the 12th round for Taylor (huh?), he would have never lost his belts.
There's no way he would have retired (as we see now), but he would have moved up for sure, except perhaps for a fight vs. Winky. I love both of them, but I think Winky wins at 160 in December 2005.
Winky/Taylor -- I agree with the earlier poster who pointed out that of course this fight wouldn't happen if I got my first "wish" about Hopkins/Taylor I, but this one hurt me just as much, if not more, because my wife and I were in attendance and we were two of maybe 200 Winky fans in the entire arena (Jeff Lacy included). I was very impressed with Winky going forward the whole fight, making the fight and backing Taylor up. He "ran" for 15 of the last 20 seconds of the fight before lunging forward with one of the best punches of the round (after backing Taylor up again early in the round and getting a few shots in), so it absolutely baffles me that people talk about how he ran in the last round and lost because of that. Not to mention Taylor did very, very little in the round anyway. Ridiculous.
DLH/Mayweather -- Only because his ditching the jab really confused and irked me. I know Mayweather was countering some of them well, but DLH controlled the middle rounds of this fight, when have we ever seen anyone do that aside from Castillo I (and I don't remember that fight clearly enough to know if that's correct anyway) against Mayweather? Then he ditches the jab for rounds 9-12 and PBF took over.

STURM OVER DE LA HOYA. STURM KICKED OSCAR'S ASS GOOD.
HOPKINS V. TAYLOR 1. HOPKINS WON.
GUTY ESPADAS OVER ERIK MORALES. MORALES HAD HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM FOR 12 ROUNDS STRAIGHT, WASN'T EVEN CLOSE
