    I really wanted to put archie moore. he's my #6. but the lack of footage for the ones i picked, put them above.

    Driscoll would definitely be fun.... masterful little guy.

    Holman Williams seems a pretty popular choice, with good reason I suppose...

    Driscoll would be superb to watch, lovely style.

    Williams by my reckoning is one of the greatest defensive fighters ever, I'd love to see him strut his stuff.

    Jem Mace

    John L Sullivan

    Bob Fitzsimmons (the only one on the list of who some film is available)

    Barbados Joe Walcott

    Harry Greb

    I think I could justify those choices to a gratefull world.

    There would also be scope for some tactical thinking here.

    For example if you pick Harry Greb, you get some footage of every fighter he ever fought e.g. Gunboat Smith, Jack Dillon, Maxie Rosenbloom etc.

    Tiger Jack Fox & Howard Winstone deserve mentions.

    Yeah you've got to be strategic about it...

    I would dearly like to see Packey McFarland, but I figure I'd get more bang for my buck by going for Jack Britton's career (which includes his fights with Packey).

    :good

    I've got a sneaking suspicion Legra may have won that fight against Jofre.

    Totally nothing solid to base it on mind you.
