    Who is the worst fighter who could have stepped into Braddock's shoes and beaten Max Baer?

    Well definitely not Tony Galento, as some would say!

    Braddock was an excellent fighter and very experienced, so it would take another excellent fighter to replicate what he did.

    Patsy Perroni, Joe Knight, and John Henry Lewis are a few at the time that could likely take a decision off Baer like Braddock did.

    The worst fighter, who ever defeated Baer, was Baer.
