If you limit it to four someone has to be eliminated for Joe Louis,

Only Great Americans

It would have to be,

John L. Sullivan
James Jeffries

Jack Dempsey
Gene Tunney
Best answer, I can imagine a cigar hanging out of John L Sullivans mouth. Less PC times

What...and not their "trusty sidekick"? Jack Johnson?

I believe you are revealing something about your nature.

Specifically That your assessment ability for the "top talent" of any era...is sorely compromised.

I'd call it poor judgment. ....No real surprise to anyone who knows your "body of work" ....if we can call it that.

In fact.....you might have to consider Jack even if the era was an all time Rushmore.

Hmmm not sure if you are boxing history buff or not. Perhaps it begs the question.

Do you know Jack?

What does the "Mt. Rushmore of Boxing" mean?
The four best fighters? The four who did the most for the sport?
