Carter
Were ranked in the 50's.

 

He would beat all of them right up until running into Louis or Marciano. There was only one belt so Green would end up with just as many titles as he had now.

 

Big, ugly armpunchers were not in style in 1950 as much.

 

I'd pick Green to beat Cokkell.

 

He doesn't beat Walcott or Marciano if that's what you're asking. He may or may not get past old Joe Louis.

 

Rocky would maul him in a bad mauling and Patterson would humiliate him.

 

I'm a Tony Galento fanboy so anything is possible.

 

Patterson would beat him bad. He did not have a stellar career, but Mitch did have some talent, very nice evasive moves and counters against Tyson there. And his interviews were priceless!

 

He was what he would be in any generation. Terrible with a good chin.
PS Cockell embarrasses him

 

And in the 1970s you had guys like Chuck Wepner, Ron Stander, Terry Daniels , Alfredo Evangelista, Ossie Ocasio, Jose Roman and Jean Pierre Coopman getting title shots.. we could make similar arguments about every decade.. it doesn’t necessarily mean that we can pluck a mediocrity out of one era and turn him into a God in another.

 

oh man, now you’re just stirring the pot.

 

I thought you were referring to how he would do in boxing during the 1950s. My mistake.

 

Don't say "Pot"....unless you got some. Enough for everybody

 

Not today
