The letter J clearly rules the roost. Which letter has the second most Heavyweight champions? Maybe M?
LOL! I knew the heavyweights were popular here but I didn’t think we would see a thread like this. Anyway, I would pick the M’s as the top guns over the J’s. Muhammad Ali Mike Tyson Rocky Marciano Max Schmeling Max Baer Mike Weaver Michael Dokes Michael Spinks Michael Moorer Ray Mercer Tommy Morrison Oliver McCall Marvin Hart Oleg Maskaev Michael Bentt Charles Martin
interestingly, the J vs M dream match (with no fighter qualifying for more than one match) has produced 7 blockbusters with some of the biggest upsets of all time included in those matches. The result is actually a 3-3-1 draw!
