There seem to be a few guys missing from that list.

I forgot Douglas (vs Tyson)

No, that wasn't who I was thinking of.

Louis of the second Schmeling fight?

Louis in the second Schmeling fight, I presume.

Dempsey that mugged Willard
Tunney that beat Dempsey
Johnson that beat Jeffries
Langford that stopped Wills in 1914

just to name a few others.

Of the choices...in a one-off I went with Frazier.

FOTC as far as choices go.

Well, I know where the other two (so far) Frazier votes came from.

For me Liston v Clay.Then Forman v Ali.
Sanchez v Gomez.The best two fighters in there prime in the ring,at the same time.

I think many would argue Ali reached his prime in his mid 20s as he became more of a full-fledged and experienced heavyweight.

It's a great question, but you have to have Louis as an option on the list.

Of these you'd have to go with the FOTC.

Why isnt Joe Louis Vs Jersey Joe Walcott on the list?

Well, some posters here have said that the Douglas who fought Tyson would have beaten most Heavyweights.
BTW am not really familiar with Heavyweights prior to Marcia no except for Joe Louis so haven't been able to include them.
