Stanley Ketchel, the only film available of him he doesn’t look great, Jim Jeffries, footage to see if he was really the greatest heavyweight of his age, Peter Jackson, footage to see if he had the skills to beat a prime Sullivan, plus footage of John L Sullivan himself and last but not least Nonpariel Jack Dempsey, said to be unbeatable at his best, I’d love to see him fight
