1. Rocky Marciano
2. Joe Louis
3. Muhammad Ali
4. George Foreman
5. Gene Tunney
6. Joe Frazier
I believe this would be a mismatch particularly because of the boxing skills of "The Galveston Giant". Klitschko is a decent enough fighter but no where in the same league as Johnson. Jack would parry most of Klitschko's punches and counter him effectively. Jack Johnson was a master defensive fighter so he would control this fight winning probably nearly every round or stopping the big man late in the fight.

Part I
1. Ali
2. Frazier
3. Foreman
4. Louis
5. Tunney (maybe)
Part II
though Klitschko is a great tall boxer his chin has been tested before and failed. Jack Johnson would again test that chin and lay Wladimir out like church clothes.
Some people consider Johnson the best fighter ever no one would make that mistake about Klitschko...
