If Every Heavyweight Champ Had To Fight His Immediate Predecessor (Whilst In Their Prime)?

Then there'd be a good possibility that Joe Louis would still be champ!

Or insert the name of whomever you think is the no. 1 heavyweight of all time.

 

hmmmmmm I'm gonna surprise myself and go with Fury beating Usyk.
Fury vs Wlad hmmm 50-50 imo. Lean towards Fury.
Lewis beats Briggs obviously
Foreman beats Briggs.
Foreman beats Moorer.
Holyfield beats Moorer.
Holyfield beats Bowe
I think I'd actually favor Tokyo Douglas over the best Holy. At least in a one-off.
Tyson PROBABLY beats Douglas.
Tyson beats prime Holmes
Ali beats prime Holmes.
Ali beats prime Foreman
Foreman beats prime Frazier albeit in a tougher fight.
Ali decisions prime Frazier.
Ali beats Liston in a much tougher fight.
Liston beats Patterson.
Patterson beats Ingo.
Marciano beats Patterson
hmmmm I'd probably make the Walcott of the Louis fight a narrow favorite to beat Marciano.
Charles beats Walcott
Louis beats Charles
Louis beats Braddock
A focused Baer beats Braddock
Baer beats Carnera
Sharkey beats Carnera
Sharkey beats Schmeling
Dempsey beats Tunney
Dempsey beats Willard
Johnson beats Willard.
Johnson beats Jeffries.
I'm gonna stop there because I admittedly don't know to much beyond this point.

 

Jeffries himself said, he wouldn't beat him even if his prime.

 

I think he was being a gentleman but yes that’s a factor to consider

 

I agree with you about Fury beating Usyk and Ali beating the guys you mentioned.

 

Corbett gets flatlined by the overrated John L
