If All The Heavyweight Champions Were Locked in a Room, Who's the One to Get Out?

OK.

It would probably come down to luck and strategy more than anything else.

Guys with a wrestling background like Sullivan and Jeffries would be at some advantage.

Sullivan would have an enormous advantage in that he knew how to fight with bare fists.

A street fighting background would also help e.g. Dempsey, Marciano, Liston, Foreman etc.

Strength andtamina would be critical which probably eliminates a few champions.

A military background might also help e.g. Tunney.

 

People that are writting Marciano off, or even Tunney needs to rember they had milatary training.

Tunney was a Marine, so I give him a good shot.

 

Gene Tunneys military training would probably have included practical unarmed combat. He would have known how to kill with his bare hands or use any object to and.

 

Which is why people are writting Tunney off too easy imo.

Boxing and unarm combat are 2 differnt things, I feel Tunney would do what was needed to make it out of that room intact, and if that means snapping some one's neck, so be it.

I giving Marciano credit for his army training, though not as intenst as Tunney's Marine training.

 

Marciano's training would have been prety basic compared to Tunneys but it would likley have included some unarmed combat.

Riddick Bowe might have turned up to an unarmed combat class before he was kicked out of the marines.

 

Both the klitschkos have military training too......

 

Fedor Emelianeko would kick all their asses!

 

I think they would all throw Leon Spinks out first.

 

Soviet and ex soviet military training emphasises hand to hand verry heavily.

 

Not sure Bowe learn a lot in his short stay with the marines. He didnt last long. Less than a year, there busy breaking you down by that point to try to build you up ete.

Bowe may have SOME training, but I dont think it would help him vs Tunney or even Marciano in this free for all fight.

 

Kidding aside, Sullivan would be a terror as would Foreman , Liston and Dempsey. All serious street fighters.

 

Jeffries, Sullivan, Dempsey.

Dempsey is important in the history of fighting in the way that no other boxer is really.

 

The more I think about it, the more I think my man Foreman comes out on top. A replay of the Lyle fight..lol

 

marciano

 

Good one! Kentucky's forgotten warrior!
