Two outcomes in my mind. Larry leads on points for first few rounds, Louis rallys back through the 5th, 6th, and gets a stoppage at some point....
Louis had quicker footwork, IQ, and far greater hand speed and accuracy than one trick pony Wilder, and it still took him 13 to find Conn's sweet...
Layne on his best day would be a real tough one for Oscar.....

Baer vs Schmeling but with Hrgovic gassing by the 6th and Baer putting pressure on earlier
The Bronze Burnout is lucky if he makes it past three. I'd give Baer, Ingomar and Jeffries higher odds against the likes of Liston (still...
Dempsey V. Firpo, quite the array of KD's and such to say the least
Usyk by KO 8-10
If he somehow survives an aging but dangerous Schmeling, he probably lasts until he meets Abe Simon, or maybe Buddy Baer.
Far underrated. Far....
I'd say Max Schmeling was his best win. Granted, Max was past his peak, but he was far from shot, and yet Louis simply tore into him. Conn,...
Wills KO'd him in 3 rounds, Dempsey in less than thirty seconds.
I don't believe his resume is weak at all. That said, I do believe more of his best scalps were in his pre title come up. The 6ft 6 225lb Knockout...
Schmeling outclasses Jersey Joe. Don't get me wrong, Walcott was slick and had great tricks, but Max was overall much more consistent in applying...
I tend to agree. Maybe he would have lasted another round or two, but he would have been reduced to a bloody punching bag no less....
