    Mike Weaver
    Leon Spinks
    Michael Dokes
    Gerrie Coetzee
    Ossie Ocasio
    Gerry Cooney
    James Tillis
    Tim Witherspoon
    Michael Spinks
    Tony Tubbs
    James Smith
    Tony Tucker
    Frank Bruno

    Also, what think you of rematches with Holmes and Page seeing as Berbick had not yet reached his full potential when he fought Larry and Page fought a full 10 rounds against Berbick with a broken thumb?

    I have it with Berbick definitely beating Coetzee, Cooney, Tillis, Tubbs, Smith, Bruno, and Page again. I have him probably losing to Witherspoon, Spinks, and Tucker, and Larry again, but closer this time. Fights with Spinks and Dokes could go either way honestly. Idk, but Ocasio seemed like the type to annoy Berbick and spoil him and win the decision. That would happen to Berbick. And I just remembered I forgot Cobb. Berbick would probably beat Cobb, but we know Berbick is always upsettable, and that works both ways!

    It really is amazing isn't it. I have no doubt that Berbick could have beaten almost all of these guys. Although he had a successful career overall, it seems a sad waste of talent.

    Prime Berbick was the greatest fighter of all time if only don king hadn’t drugged him before the Tyson fight we would have seen olde Trevor have a 15 year title reign

    Fury is nowhere near the greatest of all-time but would have looked the greatest v Berbick.

    I would probably expect most of those guys to beat Berbick, if they were all operating in peak condition. But they were such an inconsistent and unpredictable group of fighters (including Berbick).

    Everything without diversity is offensive. Lineal HW boxing champions need more diversity as Asians and Indians are very underrepresented. The ACLU needs to look into it ASAP.
