    I think you know Shavers only from highlight reels then. Shavers was very crude, especially as a finisher.

    Kallie Knoetze would finish the job that Galento could only start.

    A fair few of hem were as good as the guys who gave Louis fits, but if Louis has access to extensive film of them all, then that shifts the odds in his favor.

    Thinking The Acorn might have been a tad more skilful than the likes of:
    Godoy
    Galento
    Simon
    Paycheck
    Roper
    No ? stay safe buddy.

    More powerful yes.

    Any other superlative, will have to be haggled for extensively, on a case by case basis!

    Jimmy Young would be the man to do it.

    I think both Lyle and Quarry might have rocked him a couple times, though I see Joe ultimately stopping them.

    He's more skilled than Simon and Galento, but definitely not than Godoy.

    Yes, I can see those fellas giving Joe hard round s, but perhaps losing in the end by ko or points.
    Terrell, would be a blooming nightmare for Joe. I think he loses by points.
    Young too, don't think Louis would want to fight him twice!
    Machen, if he can go the distance with Liston he can definitely go the same way with Joe.
