Aaron Pryor, Gerald McLellan, Archie Moore, Jack Johnson

it does not matter who would of been around during the forum age.
we all would of found fault called them out and said they are not as good
as so and so

Henry armstrong - all the pac lovers would go ape shit for him
SRR - same as above but mayweather fans
JCC - great rising through the weight classes with great offensive style
Holyfield - prime he was a warrior
Joe frasier

Hearns - would have been a legend from the get go and a real roller coaster character.

Bobby Chacon - as above with added betting anguish.

Sonny Liston - there would have been something in his story/career for everyone.

Charlie Burley - as above.

Ruben Olivares - would have been marvelous to witness his rise and decline.

Ray Robinson
Sal Sanchez
Mayweather Jr
Roberto Duran
Henry Armstrong

Bob Fitszimmons would own British and Irish. Joe Bugner would be an interesting chronicle over there also.
I'm going to throw out Dennis Andries' name while I'm on the subject, purely because I think the guy deserved that extra dimension of recognition that comes with being active in the cyber age.
Herol Graham and Chris Eubank to make it 5.

This is a great idea of a thread, by the way.

Henry Armstrong
Sugar Ray Robinson
Benny Leonard
Marcel Cerdan
Carmen Basilio

jack johnson.

with the...ahem 'less politically correct consensus' at the time i think his career would have made for some fascinating threads...

same with Ali ...we would have been dismissing him as a gobby blowhard a la david haye prior to his first fight with liston....

Sam Langford, followed closely by Harry Greb.

Ketchel would have been another one as would Monzon

Truth is with Charles, Langford, Greb…we can’t actually imagine what it would be like to follow fighters who fought great fighters as often as they did.

Jack Johnson

Harry Greb / Gene Tunney

Max Schmelling

Jake LaMotta
