"where's the one punch knockout power Marciano is supposed to have?" He used it against Walcott, Matthews, Layne, etc. I don't think one off...
I like Schmeling to win by decision or late knockout. Certainly Schmeling was erratic enough that he could come up dry, but at his best I judge...
The OP didn't mention prime, but if prime or at least a young fellow who had established themselves, it is probably between Moore, Maxim, and...
Several good choices here but mine would be Mickey Walker who was ko'd in 1 round by KO Phil Delmont in 1919.

"McVey versus Mendoza" Well, the quote is from the OP by McVey. I only wanted to give my reaction. Sorry.

Fair enough, Count. I would say neither Sharkey nor Savold beat their ATG opposition (Dempsey, Louis, Marciano) and in fact failed pretty badly...
"ignorant" No problem. "trolling" I'm just giving an opinion. Savold never beat a heavyweight champion while Sharkey did, even if the...
"Sharkey the only man to fight Dempsey and Joe Louis" And he was knocked out by both of them, lasting less than 10 rounds all together. As a...
"very serious war wounds" I have Max Schmeling's autobiography. He wrote he reinjured his back when he landed poorly during his parachute...
