    Middleweight, 15 rounds, all at there peaks.
    Stanley Ketchal
    Billy Papke
    Jake Lamotta
    And Tony Zale

    All would have been extremely exciting to watch imo

    I think he would have beaten all four.

    In a neutral setting I think he goes 0-4 or maybe 1-3

    Ketchel leaps into a hook and catches Fulmer at some point with it and takes him out.

    Ketchel KO8
    Papke Bloody UD. He'd rough Fulmer up bad and mess him about inside.

    Papke UD15
    LaMotta UD15, he's too active and tough, he'd work the body and head with his left and take more rounds.
    Zale late stoppage.
    Body work body work body work.
    He works Fulmer's body till he slows down and takes him later on based on accumulation.

    This isn't a knock on Fulmer but you have stuck him in with 4 absolutely beasts. And he has a chance against All of them. And yes all 4 would be absolute brawls, in fact any combo of these guys would be brawls.

    I think he loses them all.

    He could have some success with Ketchel, but Lausse showed how a huge puncher can deter him. Interesting scrap.

    Agree entirely with this. I love Fullmer and all five fighters listed are with Fletcher Hamsho Briscoe and turn of century guys my favorite middles ever. But Ketchel and Monzon#1. Fletcher 2 Walker 3. LaMotta and Hamsho 4. Fitz 5. Ryan and Dempsey 6. Papke and Fullmer 7. Barkley Flowers Greb 8.
    Sure I forgot someone. And Clompton ruined Greb for me and how I liked him. Used to be in top 4 likes.
