    A battle of two gritty sluggers, who takes it?

    Cobb who could take anyone's best shots and still march forward that beat a dangerous, but shot Shavers etc, but shows limited power vs

    The strong willed, power punching machine known as Deontay, who is surely poised to become the undisputed HW champ..

    Cobb late stoppage. Wilder can't take him out and considered Deontay's lack of fundamentals, he's going to get hit regularly eventually.

    Yeah 9th or 10th... Wilder would be ripe for the taking. Cobb had an inhuman chin and wasn't bad when on the offensive

    Tex swore to me that only one man really hurt him & made him feel like quitting that was Earnie Shavers
    I met Earnie in Dallas many years ago & told him what Tex said Earnie said " That man must have had concrete poured in his chin, I hit him as hard shots as Ive knocked guys our with & that Son of a Gun laughed at me" He said " That all you got Earnie? They told me you could punch
    Cobb TKO 8

    The specter of Howard Cossel would materialize at ringside in the eleventh shrieking for a ban on the sport.

    Super, super post. Thanks. I'll never forget Cosell's moralistic rants in the Holmes fight. Of course that was after Cosell gained his fortune and notoriety after being on Muhammad's coat tails all those years.

    Tex said " That was one of my prime achievements in boxing, I single handed got rid of Howard Cosell for y'all" lol. BTW Did you know Tex begged the referee for 3 more rounds when the final bell went on the Holmes fight???? He said " Give me 3 more rounds & I'll be World Champ Larry cant hit me no more his hands are busted " LOL Ref Steve Crosson verified that too
