If, hypothetically, the best Heavyweights (sorry if you're more inclined to other weight divisions) in boxing history competed in a 6 round match knock-out tournament, who would win?

P.S. you can decide the matches as I can't be bothered.

Tyson, IMO. He would have been able to set a much faster pace, knowing he only had to worry about 6 rounds.

Thats not to say he couldnt have been taken out by say a prime Larry Holmes, or even a prime Ali (powerful jab in one case, great movement on the other), but I think that in a 6-rounder tourney, he has the edge.

Fast starting swarmers will do well so Tyson and Dempsey have a great chance.

Slow starters who have great stamina for the late rounds will under achieve (Jeffries, Frazier, etc...)

ali is made for this tourney
