    This a morsel more fit for Marciano's appetite and abilities. A compelling fight to be sure. A real barnburner, I think. Could Marciano overcome Kirkman's greater talent and more solid boxing skill? Would the lil' shoemaker from Brockton score the best head to head victory of his life? I think it is a definite possibility!

    Kirkman by KO(though it might take a bit).

    Kirkman would clear win but that reality is going to make many mad.

    I assume Kirkmans one of the 400 you'd have beating Jersey Joe?

    He was not recovered from a motorcycle accident and had a sinus infection.

    Kirkman got 4 KDs in the bout. Jones got lucky. "**** happens". The downside of fighting bad opponents is when they get lucky a fighter looks terrible.

    Also this was not the only time Jones showed elite power. He scored a 10-7 on Quarry. Jones still lost but he could throw them hands.

    He would have been 25-0 had he fought Marciano's first 25 opponents.
