    I think that Conn was a class above.

    Conn, too fast for Joey who has really only a good chin and a jab.

    And a lot of luck when he fought SRR!.So near yet so far for Ray.
    If Conn had have had as much luck against Louis ,then he'd have being heavyweight champion.

    Billy Conn would be too whippy for Joey..especially if he comes to fight Joey would never get off really..Conn too fast and too smooth.

    Conn on points. He's too fast, too elusive, too skilled.

    Maxim is overrated. He's a little stiff, did not hit hard ( Limited power ) and outside of a decent jab, which he could throw all night and good durability, I don't see much else.

    Joey Maxim by SD. He would use all the tricks he knew to stifle Conn.

    Mike Tyson is always the answer.
