    Jersey Joe Walcott.

    Sullivan is a legend in the same sense a dragon or a unicorn is a legend.

    Haa yes, the legendary Killer Dunn.
    He hit Ali so hard his teeth came out.... Dunn's that is, not Ali's.

    Larry Holmes.

    He never even unified. He gets way to much credit

    All the time! Seemed like people did it every time I watched him fight back in the day. About 1:15 into this clip, for example.
