Christ, Buddy had an iron chin. Must of been at least as good as his brothers and Max had an ATG chin himself. What the hell was it with those two? Did it run in the family or something?
Buddy Baer was a giant for a man fighting back in that era. He was like 6'61/2", and 250 Lbs. He had 50 wins with 45 KO's and had almost as many 1st round knockouts as Jack Dempsey. If we look at him on film, he appeared to be fairly trim and slim for a guy who weighed 250. At one point he knocked Louis out of the ring. His skills didn't look very polished though. He seemed to lack in a steady jab, and defense. One thing is for sure, he had enough power to knock out just about anyone.
