    The Jeffries v Johnson fight had quite a few.
    The publicity still for the film The Prize Fighter And The Lady starring Max Baer and Primo Carnera had Dempsey[referee,] Willard,Jeffries,etc.

    Can recall seeing one with a young ali sat next to Patterson, Braddock and Walcott. Braddock looked like a grandfather figure in it. He would probably have been in his sixty s then. Ali looked pre exile.

    Willard appears so much larger than Carnera.

    yeah, Perry, incredible how big Jess looks beside Primo.
    Had thought that vid about the great 70s guys would be the answer (Ali Frazier Norton Foreman Holmes), but that pic of 6 from Dempsey to Ali has gotta be tough to beat

    I would look into the event staged by Shannon Briggs in Florida about a year or two ago. He knocked out a tomato can and there were like 10-15 former beltholders in attendance.

    From what little knowledge I have of that era, I seem to recall a bit of bad blood between Louis and Johnson. Wasn't that regarding Joe s trainer blackie I believe his name was? So it's a nice little picture of them together.
