    The Walcott rematch shouldn't be on this list. Jersey Joe didn't come to fight that night. My take, shared by many, is Walcott intentionally missed the count. When he heard the fans booing and yelling "fix", he feigned outrage at a fast count. I wonder: Did Frankie and Blinky set it up?

    Any criteria. Dominance can be one of them.

    Name yours, please, so I can start a tally.

    I think the list is fine, except that one aborted fight.

    I put it down for La Starza II since you didn't specify. I can change it if you like.
