    That's more like it. You have to include at least one bare-knuckle pioneer.

    Have to say after review Dempsey should be a lock. Despite some of his short comings boxing as a sport probably wouldn’t exist in the same fashion that it is today...but in more important Mr Rushmore terms I present
    Italian Rushmore
    Rocky Marciano
    Jake LaMotta
    Willie Pep
    Primo Carnera

    I was wondering if someone would put Iron Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury, Lennox Lewis, and Deontay Wilder, just kidding. Or promoters Bob Arum, Oscar De La Hoya, Don King, and Mike Norris.

    Primo was not an American. Replace with Paulie Mags. Or maybe Graziano?
