    RJJ vs

    Gene Tunney
    Young Stribling
    Max Schmeling
    George Godfrey
    Tommy Gibbons

    Could Jones weighing 176-193 make it through this gauntlet? If not, who gets him?

    What made you pick Schmeling to win?

    A combination of size, ability and his right hand.

    If John Ruiz can land right hands on him, Schmeling could too. It's a matter of how many he takes and I don't think it's too many.
