Yeah, of course, Firpo would have a punchers chance and.. imo, that's about it.
Certainly not Damiani, whom I like a lot, very skilled. Damiani is vastly more skilled than Firpo.
Williams was a good fighter imo too. We are comparing Fury with Firpo. You talk negatively about Fury pointing out he was dropped by Cunnigham....
They are skilled too. A guy like Bermane Stiverne is a very skilled, accurate counter-puncher with impressive power. Someone like Bryant Jennings...
Skills pay bills, Firpo had none even compared with guys like Tyson Fury.
Ali was scared to death with Liston too btw. It didn't mean much as we know but he was scared, many people close to Ali said so.
Pedro Montanez ?
Can't see Baer as a intimidating character
Defense? Yes. Consistent fighting shape? Yes. Boxing ability? Yes. Fight the top fighters? Yes. Chin? Yes. Probably a few more....
Too many guys beat Satterfield though.
Not that much more honestly looking at his frame.
Froch would be fighting Rocky Marciano in those days.
I liked this :deal
Especially talented!
1 man, right ? Who Baer really stopped with one punch ? Didn't Dempsey knocked out Fulton with a single one ? Dempsey vs Willard is more...
