Most HW champs (former, present, or future) in a single photograph together?

    A few years ago down in Florida there was an event called "Night of the Heavyweight Champions" that had Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Witherspoon, Tucker, Spinks, Holmes, McCall, Moorer, Pinklon Thomas, Ruiz, Rahman, Byrd, Shannon Briggs and Mercer among others. I found a pic online of Rahman, Tubbs, Holyfield, Lewis, Spinks, Byrd, McCall and Briggs together. (8 champs) That would trump the previous pic which only had 6. (unfortnuately, I haven't learned how to upload pics here.) But, I must admit that in a case of quality over quantity, the previous pics of the older fighters were far more impressive.

    Great selection of photos. There is one of, including Johnson, Dempsey, Baer and others, in the ring prior to the Louis - Farr bout. Fairly sure it was in a 60's Boxing Illustrated, which I will try to find. Another that springs to mind is Fitz', Burns, Corbett, Ketchel and others in ring at Johnson - Jeffries.

    Cheers Crixus. Good old Gus. You'd never have thought he was a boxer with that nose, would you?

    In a local hot dog shop there is one of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes and Leon spinks. I love that place.

    Blackburn was his last name. He always called Louis "Chappie".
