    Rocky Marciano vs Ken Norton-Marciano
    Joe Louis vs Jack Dempsey -Louis
    Max Baer vs Gerry ****ey-Baer
    Muhammad Ali vs Buster Douglas-Ali
    Jack Johnson vs Joe Frazier-Frazier
    Evander Holyfield vs George Foreman-Foreman
    Larry Holmes vs Lennox Lewis-Holmes
    Mike Tyson vs Sonny Liston-Liston

    Marciano vs Louis-Louis
    Baer vs Ali-Ali
    Frazier vs Foreman-I know i'm in the minority but I pick Frazier.
    Holmes vs Liston- Liston

    Louis vs Ali-Ali
    Frazier vs Liston-Liston

    Liston vs Ali-Ali

    Before I get criticized for picking Frazier to lose to Liston yet beating Foreman is because this is a clean tournament which means no shoving and holding. Liston wouldn't need to do this to create room. He had that jab to create room.

    Sadly no peak version of Joe beats (peak) George.Just the wrong guy for Joe.
    I think Lennox beats Holmes.

    I would pick Holyfield to beat Foreman if he could get through the first couple of rounds. Tyson over Liston and Coo ney to surprise Baer.

    Lewis might well beat Holmes. Tyson has a good shot.

    In what universe does Baer beat Ali?

    Exactly. Maybe if it was modern Ali against prime Baer. I'd still give 2014 Ali a 50-50 shot.
