On their very best night who wins the all time heavyweight prizefighter competition?

[Dark Lord Al]

Here's my dark-horse candidate...Jack Sharkey. Ray Arcel said that, on his best nights, Sharkey was the best HW boxer he ever saw, and he saw them all 1917-1990.

Well his record was -wins 37 (13) -losses 13(3) -draws 3.

including a 3 round ko loss to Louis , a 6 round ko loss to Carnera.
so what makes you think he could beat Ali / Lewis / Tyson / Louis / Klitchko etc ?

Not much this morning when I'm less bored and thus less argumentative.
