I think he’d have the best chances against Godoy and Farr.
I never pictured Abe Simon as one who would beat Patterson. Buddy Baer would be dangerous because of his size and reach advantages and punching power.
Nearly everyone?? Don't you mean everyone??
Same here. Undecided.
Agree. Was about to post this.
You're always being contrary
Go out on a limb and say Johnson on points
Yeah...Buddy Baer had punching power in the Ingo territory along with a massive size and reach advantage.
He had the Baer brothers, Tony Galento, Max Schmeling and Billy Conn and Abe Simon. Also Arturo Godoy
Buddy or Max?
What do you mean "not high on the rest of his wins"???
Did you forget Tony Galento, the forerunner of David Tua?
Charles seems to small for Vitali, but if any sub 200 pounder could beat him, peak Charles is on the short list.
Always selling short the giant heavies of the past...
I think Schmeling, Conn and Walcott are the ones most likely to beat Patterson.
