    Baer the younger was a very hard puncher and the size of a modern sized heavyweight. Could Bowe make it past Buddy? Would it be a tough fight?

    I don’t see Bowe having much trouble with Buddy to be honest, as much as I like the Baer brothers.

    Was Bowe struggling at the time of this body assault? If so:

    Bowe batters beleaguered Buddy Baer's body badly.

    Buddy Baer had great size and lethal power. But that’s only half the equation. He wasn’t especially durable and I think Bowe had better skills. I’m guessing this ends quickly in favor or Bowe. I will say however with Baer’s power and Bowe’s mediocre defense, Buddy could certainly land some big shots

    Bowe deserves to be favorite here, but if I was in Buddy's camp, I would see some potential paths to victory.

    You've fluffed your lines, Greg? Didn't you mean Baer was beleaguered?

    You fluffer, you.

    Haha, yes, I meant to ask if Baer was struggling at the time of the body attack. Then my alliteration makes sense.
