Fights that would have had a different outcome if both fighters were in their prime.
I’ll go Hagler v Leonard and Tyson v Hollyfield.
Who you got?

Prime Tyson is a myth for Fanboys only. Tyson was a bully, Holyfield was one of the hardest men to ever put on a pair of gloves.
Leonard beats any version of Hagler, Christ Leonard had fought once in 5 years and Hagler hadn't lost in 11 years, if anyone wasn't in their prime its Leonard.
Holmes destroys Tyson in his prime if you want a proper example.
incredibly unfair in Tyson IMO, he was technically great too, especially defensively, he destroyed almost everyone, Ali lost in his prime too

The problem with taking too many blows to the head is that it makes it impossible to distinguish between the Football Forum and Off Topic threads

Not sure the outcomes would have been different but would certainly have been interesting to have seen Lewis against a prime Tyson and Nigel Benn at his best in the two fights against Steve Collins. That goes for Eubank as well to be fair.
