What world heavyweight champion was also undefeated as a heavyweight? (he lost one fight in an 88-fight career, but it was as a light heavyweight).

Larry Holmes lost one fight but I think it may have been a comeback as a heavyweight. I haven't followed for awhile so how about Gene Tunney?
Who threw the famous "Toonder punch?"

Yes, Gene Tunney.
Ingemar Johansson?
Larry Holmes lost his heavyweight title to Michael Spinks, lost the rematch also, and then lost to Tyson (who had beaten Spinks) and others later on. He was a great fighter, though, one of the most underrated champions.

First pick technically was Glenn Davis, Mr. Outside. He was a "special" choice in the first AAFC draft. Have no idea who they picked in Round One... Bruno Banducci?
Everybody knows that Leo the Lion was the Niners first NFL choice.
