    Anything Greb
    as for the heavies, i wouldn't mind seeing Sharkey vs Wills, one because i like how Sharkey looks on film and two even though Wills is faded and past prime i want to see more of him because he doesn't look great to me in what we have.
    Dempsey vs Fulton too just to see another Dempsey destruction this film purportedly existed?

    After Greb-Walker, it'd probably be Zale-Graziano 1 and after that, Charles-Moore 3, although Pep-Saddler 2 runs it very close.

    Sugar Ray vs Kid Gavilan 2. The title fight. I think The Kid cuts Robinson early and Ray boxes him sweetly to a 10-5 decision.

    Yes, seeing the greatest at his greatest - that's got to be up there.

    Frazier vs Holyfield would be a good fight from an entertainment perspective, but it would have few if any surprises. If I were to pick one fantasy fight to make happen it would be one where I have very little idea what exactly is going to happen.
    With Frazier and Holyfield you can just about bet the house that's it's a grueling high punch output fight and whoever wins, wins narrowly.

    Greb-Walker, ESPECIALLY the 15th round.

    What would be the best fight to see a prime John L Sullivan? The Kilrain fight perhaps?

    Because, according to an early account of the fight that I read from a Time magazine "Time Capsule" edition from 1925, Greb intensified and accelerated his attack with a whirlwind finish in the 15th...rendering Walker's nose into a "suet pudding" as the ringside writer put it...and battered The Toy Bulldog badly to win the round and seal the verdict. Always sounded like a titanic, epic ending to an already great, hotly contested battle. Greb was a whirlwind in that round and closed the show like a GOAT. (whether or not he was actually the GOAT)
