    If there was a heavyweight prize fighter tournament featuring every fighter in history, who would win it?

    I'm talking about 3 three-minute rounds and then it's to the judges score cards if no KO.

    Would one fighter thrive on just 3 rounds or would the winner be a predictable one? I.E one of the top 3 heavies of all time?

    Tyson? Louis? Lewis? Marciano? Who gets the crown?

    Also, which 4 would make the semi finals?

    Well Ali unless he draws Norton or Frazier early - those are stylistic nightmares for him so it is then one of those unless they draw Foreman early he is a stylistic nightmare for either of them and if Foreman draws almost any version of Ali he doesn't advance so I suppose the brackets matter, like, a lot. Styles make fights :)
    Duran deserves a mention...

    In one fight, and three rounds? Liston.

    If everyone fought more than once? Louis.

    15 rounders? Ali

    If it's a three round tournament you would think that the quick and quick starting hwts have the best chance and they could go full bore for the entire nine minutes. So Ali, the quickest of all hwts would be favored.
