    Max Baer because he often displayed such a jolly personality. He had some ability as an actor, and I think he would try to do justice to playing the part. I've always thought he was boxing's answer to Babe Ruth personality-wise. I've seen a film of Ruth playing Santa Claus, and I thought he did a great job with the kids. I think Max would too.

    Don't forget that Max Baer Sr had a rather deep voice, I could see him saying Ho Ho Ho to the children.

    I've seen Sonny play Santa, he had a kind side to him , and a kind voice when he was comfortable with say an interviewer
