1. Ricky Porter, Ambrose Mendy or Joe Frater - I would go for Joe Frater and his card headlining with Carl Thompson vs Steve Lewsam for the vacant British cruiserweight title.
3. Abe Simon vs Joe Louis - 1941.

Pretty sure Joe Louis had a scheduled 20 rounder (didn't go that far) in the early 40s.

He did - it was against Abe Simon but that was the last scheduled 20 round
