    Jack Johnson as champion vs. Langford, Jeanette, Smith, McVey, and perhaps a re-match with the shafted Jim battling Johnson.

    In '06? Nah, It would have been Jeffries vs. Hart in 06, because Hart defeated Johnson in 1905 in a lackluster affair.

    Any Marciano fight that wouldn't involve old men as choice of opponent.

    Perhaps Jeffries could have dusted Hart and then matched Johnson anyway?

    Benn v Toney would have gone along similar lines as Toney v Barkley. Toney was far too good defensively and on the inside for the Dark Destroyer. Different calibre of fighter IMO.
