    Louis ko's Thomas
    Holyfield defeats Lyle
    Foreman ko's Bowe
    Jack Johnson & Ernie Terrell---no one stays awake long enough to know who wins. This could have been a great matchup of Johnson and Baer. I hope the promoter takes a real financial bath on this one. After the film is developed and they have a computer watch it, the computer announces that Johnson stopped Terrell in 12.

    Marciano ko's Williams
    Wlad Klitschko stops Charles (not really a fair matchup of a post-supplement fighter with a pre-supplement fighter)
    Walcott outpoints Tua
    Dempsey ko's Godfrey (I just am not certain George is as good as some make him out to be)

    Corbett outpoints Liston (Sonny had trouble with movers)
    Langford ko's Douglas
    Frazier ko's Moore--but the savvy Archie is really a live underdog. I can see his sharp inside punches stopping Frazier who certainly would have his whiskers checked.
    Vitali outpoints Holmes--I think Larry is in trouble against a man he can't outjab and I don't think he outjabs the huge Vitali. Larry struggled with Cooney and Vitali is both quite a bit bigger and a lot better and he has the straight right to counter Larry's jab. Style matchup is all wrong for Larry.

    Ali stops Ingo on cuts after dominating.
    Schmeling outpoints Jeffries--another shocker. Both men tended to start slow. If Schmeling is still there after a few rounds, I think his great right and superior boxing skill sees him through.
    Lewis ko's Jackson
    Tyson ko's Witherspoon

    Wow most people are picking Vitali over Larry Holmes. This truelly is a shocker. I guess people think Vitali is for real. Keep the picks comin guys. I am also suprised how many people last round picked tunney over tua, yet are now picking tua over walcott. go figure.


    Old Fogey, I do think Jack Johnson would have torn Baer apart easily....dont you? Baer has a punchers chance of course.

    I think Baer loses, but the fans would stay awake.

    Tua does seen to get overrated in these things. Considering that he was outboxed by Byrd, I would think Walcott would be likely to do the same. I expect that Walcott would fight very cautiously in this fight and I don't think Tua is likely to catch him.
