Baer - Farr 1 I believe

I, for one, do not want to get hit by those right hands that Baer is throwing to the body.

 

Scary scary fighter. One of the greatest of all time.

Taunted like Ali. Punched like Foreman.

He also had a freakish build. http://media.gettyimages.com/photos...for-a-portrait-circa-1938-picture-id502195260

 

Thanks! I want to see more!

 

Scary guy, most definitely. A real athletic freak looking guy, too. Rarely put it all together, tho. I would not qualify him as one of greatest of all time. Rather, he was one who really underachieved, at least from the physical hand of cards God dealt him.

 

baer sure had some frame on him. easily 230 - 240 lbs with todays advantages.

 

Tommy Farr, heart of a lion, granite chin, great left jab vs Madcap Maxie, killer right hand and one of Mae West's boxing conquests.

 

Mae West's P4P hit list:
1. Joe Louis
2. Gorilla Jones
3. Max Baer
4. Victor Mcglaglen

 

Jack kid Berg is on the list too :good

 

Don't forget Jim Corbett and Chalky Wright!

She needs her own Boxrec page.

 

What was that old maxim? Million dollar body, 10 cent brain.

 

Both he and his brother Buddy were big, strong guys. They would be big in any era. Baer absolutely wasted his raw athletic talent with his lackladaisical attitude to training and light-hearted approach to the fight game in general.

With the right attitude and serious approach to the game, he could have been a far more formidable force than he was.

 

Jim Corbett! We need a source please!

 

Farr's head movement and left hand were pretty impressive. Doubled up on that left hand really well.
