    Maybe Elmer Ray vs Jersey Joe Walcott . Never seen any footage of Ray and it would be nice to see if he was any good against a proven great boxer

    Good call on Mysterious Billy.

    I’d go with John L, Mysterious Billy and Boston Tom McMustache.

    Greb would be my next choice.

    Greb. Prime Langford. And John L Sullivan, but during that weird pub tour he did where he’d get drunk and beat up anyone who wanted to fight.

    … and there’s no doubt a ton of great black fighters from back behind the color line who were never filmed (or the film didn’t survive). Probably so many great wars, lost to time.

    I would choke the genie until he allowed me to see unlimited unfilmed fights.

    He'll probably kick you off the cave and say "no more classic fights!" And starts spraying you with "influencer boxing"
