    Fitzsimmons that KO’d Ruhlin and battered Jeffries in their second fight vs. Carnera, Buddy Baer and Abe Simon. Can he win?

    Not fair. Fitz generations out. He was a pioneer. He’d never be a heavyweight during this time period. But suppose he sparred let’s say Baer. Imagine Baer lands his right. Alcatraz for sure. Fitz lands his right, Baer smiles. Simon I don’t know. Carnera you’d better give Fitz a ladder.

    Would that be Fitz with the 'alleged' non legit hand wraps of the second Jefferies bout.?

    While Fitz gave Jeffries a good fight, this was not Bob in his prime. That said I think a prime fitz could have beaten Abe Simon for sure. The other two might a bridge too big to cross
