Absolutely not. I have my doubts about him beating Jeffries straight-up, let alone after fighting three other champions on the same day!
By the way, I think there are dozens of heavyweights who could possibly beat Wlad, but none who would have better than, say, a one-in-four chance...
From what I've seen of Chapman, he's slow, not really too powerful, and has poor form. His opposition has been extremely poor on a world scale. I...
Ah. I was assuming you meant a fight between two elite-level fighters, so Marvis Frazier didn't come to mind. Apologies.
I said essentially an exhibition, in the sense that the title wasn't at stake unless Johnson was knocked out- in other words, it didn't too much...

Felix was a decent contender in the late 1890s, but he was over 40 years old when Johnson got to him and was losing to everyone and their mothers....

I grant, here, that in Johnson's prime he was very dominant, beat many name opponents and had only two, as you say, somewhat iffy losses in a...

No, Liston went on to be flattened by Leotis Martin. And yes, I believe it's Louis.
Greenberg was decidedly unimpressive when I saw him. He looked flabby, lethargic, inactive, and not exceptionally big, fast, powerful, or skilled....
