    Back then there were fights scheduled for unlimited rounds and the only way to win would be by KO (e.g. Peter Jackson vs. Patsy Cardiff 1889). Which Boxer in history would be the best HW H2H in a finish fight? A finish fight is all about outlasting your opponent, so the best combination of Toughness, Stamina and Power, would be the ideal choice. Jeffries, Holmes, Holyfield, Ali, Frazier, Liston, Foreman, Bowe, Vitali, Lewis maybe even Chuvalo would have a case to be the man imo. What do you guys think?

    He wasn’t born in Finland but Robert Helenius was raised there so I figure he’s probably the best heavyweight in a Finnish fight.
