I got to wondering what has been the most popular first name for heavyweight champions. Don't look for another Vlad or Pinklon or Ezzard or Evander anytime soon, but we have had Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey.
The Jims, as in Jefferies and Corbett and Braddock would like to challenge.
Joe Louis, Joe, Frazier and Joe Walcott are on the board for three, as well.
I am not consulting any texts here, so maybe someone can think of a tie breaker.
Was Jimmy Ellis an actual paper champion?
