    Jack Johnson would be my first pick for the top.
    John L Sullivan is my next thought.
    Corbett would probably rank quite high
    Muhammad Ali would be fun.
    Tyson Fury obviously knows how to party, but I think it'd turn a bit depressing.

    I imagine Joe Louis and Rocky would be cool enough, but a bit tame.

    Sonny Liston and Wlad would have to be near the bottom

    Corbett is some sort of sociapath, I think. At the very least he's a dyed-in-the-wool racist, broom-up-his-ass snob.

    Tyson Fury is very clearly #1 for me, then probably Max Baer.

    OK, what if you had to spill your pint in the lap of a lineal heavyweight champion, in their prime?

    Who would be lest likely to batter you?

    The dead ones...

    TBH I think very few Would, I think they'd be confident enough etc for them not to, though you'd feel terrified.

    Most likely might be Corbett since he was meant to have flashes of rage.

    1. Who would be refused entry to the club based on their scruffy clothing?
    2. Who would refuse to pay his way?
    3. Who would get emotional drunk, and tell everyone he loves them?

    Max Baer would probably be the most fun.

    Tunney the least fun, but you'd be able to rub elbows with the Harriman and Rockefeller types if that is your wish.

    I guess Mike Tyson is probably pretty up there.

    I think Briggs would be fun too.
