    Which two heavyweights would you choose to potentially provide the most exciting ,all action, barn burner of a fight?

    I'l go for Dempsey v Marciano.

    You?

    Frazier-Marciano. Just hit until someone drops. Would be insane.

    Frazier-Dempsey, both at their peaks, would be wild.

    I have a feeling Dempsey would get him outta their quickly for some reason (though I'd be rooting for Rocky to make me eat my words).

    I'll say Ali vs Louis, because it's probably the matchup I'm most curious about. To me it has the most interesting and difficult to predict possibilities as to how it might play out.

    I know this will be a controversial if not necessarily unpopular opinion, but I'm about 75% certain Jack would **** up Joe pretty bad and pretty early, quite possibly worse than Foreman.

    I feel like Jack would win but it wouldn't be easy. No swarmer beats Jack imo, Tyson (if considered a swarmer which is very arguable) included.

    Dempsey vs Holyfield. Evander would go in with the intention of bouncing up on his toes, using movement and a variety of punches to gradually draw the sting out of Dempsey before increasing the pressure as the rounds went on. However I can also see Evander abandoning the game plan the first time Jack connects with a big punch and then it’s bombs away with both flailing away trying their best to overpower the other.

    Good one mcvey. There's a good few at heavy that that would have the old heart in the mouth. I actually think Frazier v Bowe could be a war. Can see both men raging and not wanting to give a inch. Rock v Dempsey has got to be a big fans favourite. Liston V lyle could be a classic.
