    What are your top ten mythical heavyweight matchups between champions? Those that either intrigue you because of the clash of eras/styles etc, or because of the potential for non stop tear ups?
    One proviso ,they must not have actually met
    eg All Prime
    Dempsey v Marciano
    Dempsey v Louis
    Louis v Ali
    Tyson v Frazier
    Jeffries v Liston
    Foreman v Lewis
    Johnson v Louis
    Tyson v Marciano
    Johnson v Dempsey
    Foreman v Holmes

    ?????????????????

    I think that these two are evenly matched. Dempsey is hard charging. Johnson is technical and stubborn.

    I wonder how Louis would deal with the outstanding movement of Tunney?

    Pretty much a war. We would deffinately see what Tyson was made of.

    Evander can bring the level of agression just like Frazier. I think Evander is a little more versatile and faster.

    I have to question Tyson vs. Marciano being up there. The list looks amazing, but wouldn't that be a blow out in favor of Tyson? Not saying you are wrong, but do you see that as being a good matchup? Maybe I'm on the hype train but I love both fighters, I just see Tyson being too big fast and strong for him.
