    If you could pick five mythical fights involving just heavyweights that never fought each other spanning which ever eras you want ,who would they involve?
    Punchers only please no Ali v Marciano 's

    I'll kick off with
    Dempsey v Marciano
    Tyson v Tua
    Liston v Foreman
    Frazier v Marciano
    Dempsey v Tom Sharkey

    For sure I'd pick Ali Vs Louis, but I'll go with the all action route since that's what you want. I'd pick Langford Vs Fitz, but that also doesn't seem in the spirit of things.

    Something like:
    Mike Tyson Vs Joe Louis
    Rocky Marciano Vs Evander Holyfeild
    Jack Dempsey Vs Harry Wills, also just to right that wrong, but I think it'd be exciting.
    Max Baer Vs Deontay Wilder
    George Foreman Vs Riddick Bowe

    I don't see either Johnson or Ali as sluggers myself.

    I think Johnson was, when he needed to be. As far as Ali, well, uhh...it was a fight that had the highest punchrate until Holy Bowe, but U R right. Ali didn't have slugging power, I concede!
