Would everyone be satisfied with the following list for lineal heavyweight champions up to and including Clay regains from Spinks?
* * * * *
John l Sullivan—
Corbett—
Fitzsimmons—
Jefferies—
Hart—
Burns—
Johnson—
Willard—
Dempsey—
Tunney—
Schmeling—
Sharkey—
Carnera—
Baer—
Braddock—
Louis—
Charles—
Walcott—
Marciano—
Patterson—
Johansson—
Patterson—

L Spinks—
Clay—
* * * * *
Terrell, Ellis, Norton and Holmes have been edited off the list. I believe Holmes was not the lineal champion then, and acquired his belt against Norton who was not a lineal champ. Please correct me if I am wrong. I need the information for a project. I hate doing things over because I missed something or was flat wrong. Don't we all?
