    Building off of the other thread on what if Joe Louis never boxed. Somebody mentioned Conn might be the HW champ. The time frame in reality likely wouldn't have worked out, but what if a peak Conn challenged both Walcott and/or Charles when they were champ. How does he do? Does he have a chance?

    He likely beats Walcott on points.

    I think Charles beats him though.

    Timeline is all wrong.

    That aside, he would have had an excelent chance against either.

    I don't think he beats either. Walcott by KO and Charles by UD.

    :lol:...no way, if anything, Conn upsets either one.
