    always an interesting subject, the ducked fighters get to fight the
    more famous champions that ducked them...

    will the murderers row fighters show why they were ducked
    or the champions show why they are the champions of the divisons
    ...


    sugar ray robinson vs charley burley

    marty servo vs holman williams

    freddie cochrane vs eddie booker or jack chase


    tony zale vs lloyd marshall


    Gus Lesnevich bert lytell

    freddie mills jummy bivins

    joe louis vs elmer "violent" ray


    i am not including moore and charles because they got their shot latter

    I'll say-

    sugar ray robinson vs charley burley- Robinson, my pick as always

    marty servo vs holman williams

    freddie cochrane vs eddie booker or jack chase


    tony zale vs lloyd marshall- i like Marshall,


    Gus Lesnevich bert lytell- i like Lytell

    freddie mills jummy bivins- i like Bivins

    joe louis vs elmer "violent" ray- Louis

    The others i can't say, in fact most of these could go either way.

    i see you've picked lloyd marshall over tony zale.i don't know who'd win but marshall was a beautiful fighter to watch.that body roll of his was something else.

    Yeah, I've only seen what's on youtube, I'm guessing that's all that's in circulation.

    thats all i've seen too.30 odd years ago i read in a book about freddie mills that marshall had a natural body roll and until i saw the fight on you-tube i didn't know what was meant by that.he only weighed 168 lbs too.

    Robinson.

    Don't know, never saw either one.

    Probably Booker/Chase.

    Tough to call. I'd give the edge to Zale if it's at 160. Over-the-weight, edge to Marshall.

    No idea, never saw Lytell.

    Bivins, and clearly IMO.

    Louis.

    good picks for the most part

    but its hard to pick some fights because of lack of footage

    some would be techical fights robinson vs burley

    some would be wars louis-ray


    some like servo vs williams would be who knows

    louis vs ray,
