The "What if" thread.....

[IronDanHamza]

to aswer ur question(which is partof the thread)

i think he might have beenif he held the title til bob foster came along


what if geogre foreman rematched ali and fought a smarter fight?

I consider Johnson a Top 5 ATG Light Heavyweight regarldess.

I think if George Foreman tried that he would get absolutely dominated. Maybe not stopped, though.

What if Cus D'mato had never died when Tyson was still prime?

Tyson does alot better but at some point would probably came off the rails anyways


WHAT IF - Roy Jones had stayed at HW after Ruiz?

what if duran didnt say no mas and trainedharder and didnt get so fat inbeyween fights?

would he rank higher on the ATG list?

WHAT IF - Roy Jones had stayed at HW after Ruiz?

he would eventuall have lost by ko to someone

but it would hurt his legacy as much and he would have retired without shame

Yeah but i think Cus could have minimized the damage that Tyson did to his career as far as who he hung out with, how he spent his money and some of the trouble he got himself into ect.

It depends on who Roy fought. If its somebody like Lennox, then he gets absolutely destroyed. But he could hang around with some of the smaller heavyweights like Byrd. I see him winning that one.

If Duran had beaten Leonard in that second fight he may be ranked higher.

I'm not sure how much more he could have achieved about 147 than he already did, though.

Not enough to enhance his ranking by much IMO.

Even if he didn't say "no mas" he would have still lost lol Leonard just wasn't going to lose to Duran that night no matter what. I also would still pick Benitez and Hearns over him, but maybe in a less dramatic fashion that they beat him in.

I like to think that about Mike and Cus but i dunno man, Tyson was wild...

I agree on Jones he could pick and choose opponents at HW who he could beat ie Byrd but a guy like Lewis would squash him


TS

Duran would have been higher yes, he was one of the best who ever did it even with those flaws. His record would have been better and the No Mas for many REALLY hurts him so if that were gone it would be a big plus for him


NEXT

WHAT IF - Ali never came back after he was banned?

if he trained like he did for the first fight he could have beaten him for sure

i think he would still lose to hearns but i think the duran that fought leonard the first time would have beatne benitez

duran was lazy as **** in that rfight and his defense was so damn sloppy pluss beitez was an atg and u cant underestemate someone like that


what if hagler fought leonard in there primes?
