    I'll tentatively go with Jones by decision.

    I've got to go with Jones, too. Interesting how well they compare, height-wise, with Shkor at 6' 4 1/2" and Jones at 6'5".

    Shkor was a big guy for his time, yet 190 lb. Marciano seems to have taken care of him pretty easily (though not as easily as Walcott!).

    It's a long held philosophy for me to choose Leroy's over Johnny's.

    Johnny Nelson included.

    Nelson was a very underwhelming performer, participating in 2 of the worst fights I have ever had the misfortune to watch.He has however metamorphasised into a capable boxing commentator.
