    Anyone?

    I'm guessing Dempsey from the 20s, Tyson from the 80s, and then I'm less certain.

    Maybe Louis in the '30s?

    Kid Gavilan in the '50s?

    Surely Ali through the '70s.

    Those seem to make since.

    I would have guessed maybe Marciano in the 50s (but perhaps not on him), Ali 70s, DLH 00s, and possibly Tyson or DLH for the 90s? Perhaps even Holyfield?
