15. James J. Braddock
16. Joe Louis
17. Ezzard Charles
18. Jersey Joe Walcott
19. Rocky Marciano
20. Floyd Patterson
21. Ingemar Johansson
22. Floyd Patterson
23. Sonny Liston
24. Muhammad Ali
25. Joe Frazier
26. George Foreman
27. Muhammad Ali
28. Apollo Creed (won by controversal decision)
29. Rocky Balboa (won by 15th round KO)
30. Clubber Lang (won by 2nd round KO)
31. Rocky Balboa (won by 3rd round KO)

ok, it was fun at first with the Rocky fanasty fights and the fanasty rankings, but this is pretty stupid, it's a great movie, and just enjoy it as that, but don't take it seriously, like how you're doing.
I'm not taking it seriously, I know it's only a movie, but it's intresting to think what boxing would really be like if all those fighters were real.
