    If someone poured a bucket of water on Shannon Briggs after Lewis knocked him out and let him rest for a few minutes, he could’ve gotten up and starched Willard.

    Big Jess kills Lennox in the ring by severing his brainstem with an uppercut from hell. Willard is lampooned in the press for defending his title against such poor opposition.

    Right. Jess had that farm strength. How many bales of hay did Lennox shift? None, I'm guessing.

    The best I can do for Willard is to imagine the time warp stalling and Willard finds himself in the 70s not the 90s and Chuck Wepner is standing in front of him, not Lennox Lewis.

    You’ll thank me later, Jess, trust me!

    Oliver Mcall would beat them both. Andrew Golota would be the referee dressed as a policeman in some kinky sex game. Then Nikita Tszyu would enter......

    Lennox outspeeds,outboxes and outfights Willard. Jess would take a lot of punishment and he would n't quit. It would take the ref or his corner to stop the fight.

    Being knocked spark out is pretty decisive.

    An old crumbly wall of sheetrock puts up more resistance than Jess Willard .

    Nobody wants to address Jess' farm expertise in this thread. So be it. How many chickens did Lewis ever chase? Checkmate right there.

    Added bonus: Jess will feel like he’s right back at home when Chuck starts to bleed like a stuck pig - just like the good ol’ days on the farm.
