    I have created a 64 man tournament involving the most (all?) of the best Heavyweights of the time period.

    All fighters have come to MSG in 2019, and will fight under modern rules, but over 15 rounds with neutral judges.

    All fighters are assumed to be at their peak.

    As it is a long tournament I will try and avoid clogging the board, by doing five fights at a time, so you have five votes.

    I have split fighters into eight sections, so their first three fights will be fights generally against fighters of their era or near their era.

    My vote will only count to break a tie.
