I'd say Schmeling and Conn handle both Walcott and 1948 Louis, but Walcott should beat every other Louis opponent. Of course, given his...
Quarry struggled a lot with good boxers given by his performances against Patterson, Ellis and Machen. Johnson had the right set of skills to get...
Gets smashed in the late rounds after getting slowed down with body punching and consistent jabs. There's a world of difference between a 22 and a...
I don't see the argument for Charles getting the win unquestionably. Can't really hurt Max and he's dealing with a very fast HW who holds every...
He was champ for 11 years, of course he would retire at the beheast of his mother. That doesn't mean he was shot. Equating 1948 Louis to the...

Have to remember that Joe and Bill were close friends, and Louis never played down an ex opponent and Conn's performance in that fight was a great...
There's a misconception I see repeatedly in this forum that Max was a stationary fighter which is patently incorrect. He was very quick moving...
The optimist in me says that Marciano finds away and wears Schmeling down for a late tko. The realist in me tells me that Max outboxes him and...
He was pretty consistent from 1945 onwards. Go through the names of contenders he beat. Needing a rematch or two to get through pretty much the...
