Who is the most recent heavyweight champion that these fighters could beat?

I'd definately go with John L. over Michael Moorer any day of the week for starters

 

off the top of my head...

Joh L Sullivan = leon spinks because he came forward. KO

Bob Fitzsimmons = moorer

Jim Jeffries= leon spinks, just like what gerrie coetzee did.

Tommy Burns=moorer

Jack Johnson= mike tyson (bonecrusher held him but jack would hold him and do something)


Sam Langford=old george foreman at least

Harry Greb= leon on points

Jack Dempsey= both klitchkos and a whole lot more

Mickey Walker =0

Joe Louis= both klitchkos and a whole lot more

 

Of course, it goes without saying. My only hesitation was that moorer could box, but then if old foreman catches him...second thoughts yes so would old tashy.

I considered this but felt beacuse walker beat sharkey in a non title fight this could have been a cold as oposed to hot sharkey, I know walker beat other good contenders at heavyweight but not by TKO or anything that could guarantee a win against a champion with it all on the line. his fight with schmeling was a bad match. Braddock is seen as weak by some but as an tired and rusty fighter he gave a peak louis holy hell in that losing effort.

 

David Haye

 

Bob Fitzsimmons - M. Moorer, Buster Douglas....

Jim Jeffries- every fighter, except Holmes, both Klitschko, Lewis...

Tommy Burns - 0

Jack Johnson- Everybody

Sam Langford - Everybody, except both Klitschko, and Lewis

Harry Greb- Moorer

Jack Dempsey- Wlad, Moorer, Holyfield, many guys....many guys

Mickey Walker- 0

Joe Louis - Everybody

 

heres another way of asking the same thing, how many other lineals could shannon briggs beat?

 

He could beat Patterson or Johannson.....maybe.....

 

Are you kidding? The Leon Spinks who beat Ali would mop the floor up with those dinosaurs who fought with the funny looking stance, and so would Michael Moorer. Greg and Sullivan would have gotten :dead I mean Tommy Burns beating Michael Moore??

Any big puncher can beat any lineal champ on a given night. Those who disagree do not understands heavyweight boxing. Not saying they would, I'm saying they could. So Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, Langford, Dempsey, and Louis could in theory win.

Greb and Johnson could out box the lesser more limited punchers at heavy such as Ingo, Spinks, Old Foreman, and Briggs. I also think Greb and Johnson could out point the following lineal champs post Louis: Walcott, Charles, Ingo, Spinks, Moorer, old Foreman, and Briggs.

I think Walker, and Burns would only have a shot at the worst of lot such as Spinks.
