Although there was considerable (i) _______ among the members of the panel as to the qualities essential for a champion, Sugar Ray Robinson was (ii) _______ voted the greatest fighter of all time.
We can start with either of the blanks. As we need contrast, after the comma the second highlighted bold part indicated that the panel members were in unison when they voted Sugar Ray indicating that we need a positive word to fill in. Consequently indicating that they were in disagreement when deciding about other candidates.
Blank (i)
A. discourse- Irrelevant
B. disagreement- Correct
C. research- Out of Scope
Blank (ii)
D. characteristically- Wrong
E. overwhelmingly-Correct- Indicating that they overwhelmingly agreed when voting for Sugar.
F. presumably- Means possibility- Out of scope
Hope this helps!
