A better question is what mythical fight between top fighters from different eras would have been the most lopsided?
My vote goes to Jack Dempsey vs. Wlad Klitschko-I see Wlad shooting a couple of his weak jabs towards Dempsey, who is far too fast and skilled to be hit by such a "weapon," and after the third or fourth jab I see Wlad coming to on his back after about 30 or 40 seconds and having no idea what happened.

That is IMPOSSIBLE
....Wlad would have been too big for Dempsey...I believe that today's heavyweight skills ain't shit, but Wlad is not Jess Willard

I'm inclined to agree. Spinks had a fearful look in his eye from the word go. Tyson's finest moment.

How is it impossible. Dempsey was just as fast, hard hitting, and much more skilled than a Corrie Sanders. Fred Fulton was very much like Wlad . . .skilled, excellent left jab, athletic with a shaky beard, and Dempsey demolished him in under 20 seconds.

Joe Louis - Max Schmeling 2 was pretty one-sided.

It'd certainly rank within the top few, & may be the leading candidate. Foreman looked terrible with those wide swings, though.
He looked pretty impressive from Roman's vantage point.

Lewis-Rahman II. Rahman appeared to be a star in the making at the time.

That has to be the best example yet, simply because Spinks was touted by many as having the tools to upset Tyson!
He didn't even come remotely close to it!

Lewis was not going to be denied that night.
He prepared like a soldier for that fight & the taunting that Rahman subjected him to just fuelled Lewis' desire.

Syntax, I don't remember it that way. There were some selling the fight but most people thought of it as a public execution. It was necessary, and made Spinks the money but I don't think he ever really thought he could win. Spinks dodged any genuine threat once he got past Holmes because he wanted that mega pay day. I think Spinks would have lost to Frank Bruno, let alone Tyson.
I'll admit there was a tiny part of me that thought 'maybe' but that disappeared the moment Spinks walked out with his knee in a brace.
