Champion: From New York City, New York, USA, "The Fighting Marine," Geeeeeene Tuuuuuuuuuuneyyyyyy!!!

Foster is last? Spinks is only 7th? They both would have a serious chance of winning this. Rosenbloom would be last almost for sure against these guys.
The lightheavyweight division is probably the hardest to pick. Anyone of the top 5 All-Time best lightheavyweights-Tunney, Charles, Moore, Spinks and Foster could win this. Conn would probably score a couple of upsets, but would probably finish 6th.
