    I'd say Sharkey, dude had a unique style that was fun to watch when on form.

    Max Baer Jr. was pretty entertaining as Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies so I will go with Baer Sr. In all seriousness, I just don't know much about their styles from that era.

    He'd make a good spit bucket carrier for Tye Fields

    Entertaining and good across eras are two different things, though I think his fighting spirit would work in any era.
