I agree. Prime head to head it's a tough fight for both of them!
I went with Marciano by knockout. I believe he was on a higher level than Williams. I think it's another case of a fighter looking good (by some)...
My sense of the man's style is that he had more skill than many give him credit for but less than some give him credit for. These are educated...
While I don't agree with, or respect, Sullivan's color line stance or incidents of domestic violence, in totality, I have a lot of respect for the...

For openers, my Dad and Uncle hated him with passion. They loved Jack Dempsey and both believed, until the days they died, that Jack should have...
Gene Tunney, for reasons of my own. :p
Sullivan is difficult to figure out. With that stated, I would bet on John L. to catch Corbett at some point, in a Prime vs. Prime fight. I agree...
No, but, at his best, he would be the favorite to win over the vast majority of the other Lineal Heavyweight Champions in history.
