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 CLOSEComment

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.Comment

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
