    What if all the Queensberry Rules Linear Heavyweight World Champions had fought each other (in their prime) under London Prize fighting Rules?

    Let us say each fighter gets six months training to learn the art of bare knuckle fighting before the competition begins.

    Obviously one or two of these fighters has fought under London Prize so you may feel they have an advantage.

    The draw was done on (total) length of reign (in years), with the tie breaker being listed alphabetically.

    There were 35 generally recognized Linear Champs, so for all those who reigned for less than a year, I listed them on their actual length of reign thus, the bottom six, need to go though a preliminary round, to get to the main draw.

    I will only vote, to break a tie, once the poll has closed.

    To avoid clogging up the board, I will only list four contests at a time, with a 48 hour time limit for people to vote.

    Ramhan was an enforcer before he got into boxing, so I tend to think that he could beat Spinks in an LPR fight.

    He would probably have a bigger fragment of the skillset and be slightly better with it.

    Not a briliant analysis on my part though.
