If you could rewrite Boxing history, what would you change?

[OCPancho]

Lupe Pintor and Jeff Chandler fight at 118 in their prime.
Sal Sanchez and Eusebio Pedroza hook-up at 126 in their prime.
Sal Sanchez rematches with Azumah Nelson. And if he gets by him, he fights Arguello at 126.
Never mind that Sal should have never answered that booty call and getting killed in the highway at night .

Aaron Pryor and Duran hook up at 140. Duran and Cervantes hook up at 140.
Mike McCallum hook up with John Mugabi at 154, and the winner fights Hagler .
Julian Jackson and Tommy Hearns hook up at 154.
Ray Leonard hook up with Donald Curry before hooking up with Hagler .

Many, many things I would change.

Norton deserves a win over Ali for 1.

Floyd doesn't retire like a Batch and instead fights prime Cotto etc.

On a side note, I think Floyd would have done less well financially if he was white. If he was white he would have absolutely eviscerated after his anti-asian racist comments vs Pacquaio. As a black man he was able to avoid most of the anti-racism fallout due to his skin colour. If he was white that could have been the end of his career right there.

Pacquaio/Marquez fight 5 times, and Marquez gets his hand raised in their 3rd fight which should have happened.

Tyson/Holyfield 2 is an epic war rather than an ear fest.

RJJ retires after he wins the HW title.

Toney takes RJJ seriously and trains his ass off for the fight and they proceed to have an amazing epic with both at the top of their game.

Andre Ward gets head butted and low blowed multiple times throughout his career and decides to be a clean boxer.

Lewis vs Vitali- the Big Klit cutman does a better job and that fight is allowed to continue.

Too many to change

[El Gitano]

1. Castillo doesn't get robbed vs Floyd
2. Corrales doesn't get all that extra time for throwing his mouth piece out, something he complained when Freitas did it to him.
3. Morales not giving Pacquiao a rematch.
4. Nevada making that thing Floyd uses for his hands illegal like other states.
5. Vasquez vs Marquez 4 never happens.
6. Morales, JMM and Hamed all fight each other.
7. Paul Williams doesn't get on that bike, Canelo vs Paul Williams happens.

Hook up?

Sorry, a Yankee slang for fighting.

[Jedi Vader]

Floyd couldn't get away with being the racist punk that he is if he was white

The public flogging for battering women and acting like a classless thug with money would have been much harsher, because then he wouldn't be able to pull the race card

The "King Thug" persona ain't as celebrated among white culture as it is among black culture, so his popularity would be affected.

In short, Floyd would be much less of a star if he was white. He'd probably get some Tyson Fury like treatment from media at some point

What does that have anything to do with actual boxing?

Norton did win one fight against Ali.
I think Ali deserved the second fight.
Kenny definitely got robbed in the rubber match.
But, Ali was post Thrilla in Manila then.

Who are all these white athlete casualties of the war on racist comments 9-10yrs ago? Please name some eviscerated white athletes cuz I missed that news.

Show me the white athlete who's career got ended for dissing a Asian guy?

Idk what you guys are even talking about with this white people can't say racist sh^t 10 years ago stuff. White people were the leading cause of a racist remark 10 years ago. Non-white people just started spitting out racial sh^t casually in the last 2-3yrs damn near lol.

RJJ retires after he wins the HW title.

Actually I wanna amend my RJJ retirement from after the Tarver L to after the Ruiz W. That was actually the perfect time for RJJ to hang them up & I think his legacy would have been so epic after that W he'd be a top 5 P4P all time mainstay right there with SRR for the rest of boxing history in the hearts & minds of most boxing fans.

[EdWins]

-Margarito never had plaster in his wraps. That was such an embarrassing moment for mexican boxing, before the news broke and before mosley fudged him up his win over cotto was so glorious, I was all the way disappointed.

I can't name a white athlete eviscerated for saying racist stuff like Floyd because they know not to make such ****** comments for fear of the fallout eviscerating them.

An example of how a white athlete can be ostracized and hounded for making politically incorrect views would be Tyson Fury... He mentioned that the blowback from his comments which were less inflammatory than Floyd's damn near caused him to commit suicide. Floyd is lucky he got a pass for his racism due to being black.

I agree on RJJ, if he hadn't dropped back down after the heavyweight title and instead had instead retired on top he would still have his aura of invincibility to this day and his legacy would be "untouchable".
