Inspired by correspondence between @InMemoryofJakeLamotta and myself on: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/max-baer.698869/ ...I came up with the idea to assign this topic. Rank 5 (or more) in your opinion of the best heavyweights of the 30s.
Louis Baer Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Conn Tommy Loughran Godoy Bob Pastor Nova Galento Abe and Buddy tied for tenth lol
Louis Schmeling Sharkey (Peak Sharkey would give ANYONE a tough time on a given night and whenever the moon or tides or whatever are in sync for him to be in the proper mental state.) Baer (Would be at the top in physical tools but beneath the bottom in fistic brains, heart and gonads.) Braddock (The Cinderella Man is looked at as a fluke by some but he was a pretty good prize fighter.)
