Horrible fight to watch.

Flynn would be game, but he would get battered from pillar to post.

Ken Norton vs Fat Willie Meehan

Even in a four round fight, Norton would have the perfect style for neutralising Meehan.

Quote:

Larry Holmes vs Gene Tunney

I would lean towards Holmes, but it would not be a confident pick. Tunney would give him fits.

Jack Downey vs Trevor Berbick

Mismatch. Berbick smashes him.

Holmes Tunney would be the interesting one. Tunney might just be able to play the foil here.

Norton

Holmes easily too big better footwork better reach and jab theres no way for Gene to win

Burt is probably thinking up a clever response as we speak.
