    Here is my opinion:


    Part 1...


    Sullivan- Would do well early with his "beer" strength and barroom roundhouse right hand, but eventually would get to drunk off whiskey and collapse halfway through the contest after about 24-28 shots.

    James J Corbett- Wouldn't have any space to box, he would get crucified early by someone

    Bob Fitzsimmons- This Bandy Legged 165lb hard puncher would ultimately get manhandled by some of the bigger stronger heavyweights. Early Night for Ruby Red

    James J Jeffries- He would be one of the last ones standing, but not the last one. He simply lacked skill to win a contest like this. But his size, strength, durablity would see him through. He would take some terrible punishment most of the time, but would stay up. At the end, Jeffries would get outsmarted. Tunney would say "Hey Jeff I bet you can't pick up Fitz, Corbett, Hart, and Carnera over there lying on their backs and carry them on your shoulder all the way home." Jeffries replies "No one is stronger than me I can do it". Jeffries would pick them up run 9 miles home, and get disqualified.

    Marvin Hart- He is the first to go

    Tommy Burns- Little Tommy would be the child in the playhouse getting tossed around by the big brothers until they decide to knock him out cold

    Jack Johnson- He won't have room to counter. Very strong and skilled, would knock quite a few guys out...But I think a long outside distance guy with power like Lennox would find him in the room and take him out as some point

    Jess Willard- This skilless big farmboy would take enough punishment until they carry him off to the morgue

    Jack Dempsey- Dempsey was vicsious tiger like, good street fighter/inside fighter. I can imagine everyone stopping while him and Marciano have a war for a few min. Dempsey makes it very far into this tournament..ultimately runs into a cheap shot foreman haymaker from the side while he is tackling with Floyd Patterson, and it knocks him out cold

    Gene Tunney- Smart, Wise, Intelligent, Skilled, Strong. He outsmarts a few felllas, keeps guys off him with his jab..but he doesn't have anywhere to run...Tyson sees gene calls him out "you punch ***** get ur ass over here" and tyson corners him and finishes him off


    Max Schmeling- His precious, timing, methodical style would get teared apart by the young hungry fast lions. Schmeling does run after Louis and cold **** him with a right hand at the beginning. Louis gets up and jumps on Ali's back.

    Jack Sharkey- Sharkey is skilled, fast hands, strong. He beats on quite a few guys. Him and Ezzard Charles can be seen having a toe to toe war in the corner...but charles has the better of it. Charles having trouble finishing him off yells over to Louis "yo help me come finish off this white cracka" Louis comes over lands a 5 punch combo, followed by one charles left to the body...Sharkey drops out of the tournament...

    Primo Carnera- Carnera becomes a big pinata. He can be seen picking on little tommy, marvin, and ruby red at the beginning laughing as he shoots jabs in their pace. However, Frazier, Tyson, Holyfield, Liston love whaling on the big man until Carnera yells out "Please I am done widd thiz, I want no more. Please eddie how much money do you have for me so I can go home to my mama"...Eddie replies "26,000 dollars". Carnera says "that's alot of money in my country".

    Max Baer- He does quite well. First he shows up in a clown costume mocking everyone. Big man, good chin, huge right hand...He hits Marciano with a right hand from the side, which puts the rock on ***** st. Rocky goes "i have never been hit so hard in my life"...rocky sticks his tongue out growls and charges into Baer...Jersey Joe Walcott sees Baer battling Rocky and says "come on big fella" baer replies " I don't wanna kill you" Walcott laughs and replies "don't hurt yourself big fella"...as he does a walcott schuffle makes baer miss badly with a overhand right before tagging baer with a big right hand flat to his back.......Baer is responsible for ending the tournament for quite a few fighters including pummeling Jess Willard, Shannon Briggs, and a 45 year old George Foreman. Ultimatiely he runs into Riddick Bowe hurts baer badly...liston sees Baer's hurt, walks in and slams a huge uppercut knocking baer to the ground out cold.. Bowe slaps Liston high 5.

    James J Braddock- Jimmy is a big man with a good jab and a lot of heart, but he gets overmatched...He does well early slamming a big right hand into sullivans gut after he takes a shot of Jack...later Jimmy takes a flush punch of Jack Dempsey and just smiles at him..before dempsey puts him down with a rapid combo.....He gets eliminated by larry Holmes, holmes keeps taunting him slicing his face open till jimmy can't see..Then larry runs up jumps on the back of a ingemar johansson and drop punches braddock in the face.

    Chuvalo and non cracked up McCall would have a good chance IMO. As would Marciano and I gotta say Vitali would also be in with a shot. As unrealistic the is, an iron chin and good stamina would be the key to winning this.

    If the Foreman fight had been allowed to continue 30 seconds longer, & the badly hurt Chuvalo had been brutally KO'd in that 3rd round, would you still give him a good chance?

    Most probably. This is foreman were talking about. Personally I feel he is the biggest puncher of all time in boxing. I think Chuvalo's chin is overrated but if Frazier and Foreman are the only people that have stopped you in close to 100 fights then your chin must be pretty damn good. And he did face the best around at the time.

    I think you're right.

    The more I think about it, the winner would be someone we would never suspect- Floyd Patterson or Tommy Burns maybe.

    He would have to be wily enough to stay out of the melee until very near the end. He would probably have to run to prevent fighting.

    Tunney might be smart enough to do that. Ali might be, but Ali would probably dig himself a hole with his mouth.

    I know this is a little conventional, but in a set up like this I have to go with Ali or Frazier. If it wasn't one of them it would be because everyone ganged up on them early to get them out of there lol.

    1. There goes Jeffries and Johnson

    2. There goes Marciano and Dempsey.

    3. Tyson is out.

    4. Tyson again.

    If you bet Liston or think Liston then you're certifiably insane.

    :lol:

    Holy looking like a sleeper. Fits with him being the overlooked/under-appreciated warrior during his career.

    Attention seeking are we :tong? Too many insignificant heavies. Just post the main ones and who you think would actually win, although now you've gone this far you might as well carry on.
