    6’6 240 pounder with a killer left hook and slightly under appreciated skills, who’s the best man you see him scalping?

    Adult film actor Jumbo Cummings said this would've been a tremendous fight.

    Conney would knock B Baers lights out. Baer was a big slug with a style that didn’t take advantage of his height. Against Louis he looked like a slug maybe tight that he was fighting Louis? Either way in the 60s there was at least 20 that would clearly whip him most kos.
    How bout Manuel Ramos? Maybe that’s a punch out like Ramos had with Chuvalo. But maybe Ramos wins so don’t have a sure win of a ranked guy if we start with 60s. If you want to go back to Rocky Marciano era was probably a bunch like Don Cockel etc.

    I doubt he could beat Norton, and have no doubt he would beat Ingemar Johannson.

    Perhaps Buddy Baer beats the Bowe of 1992 or the Lewis of 1997. I can see Buddy Baer stopping them
