    Dokes would have been put to shame in Conn's era. I really wonder how he would have done with all of the solid heavies that were around back then. I'm sure Galento would have beaten Dokes into the canvas in a one sided massacre. In fact, we would call it to this day "The Great Massacre of 1940" or "The Day of Tears at Yankee Stadium" because Dokes would have been reduced to tears against Galento.

    Because Nova was basically a much smaller, less powerful, less capable version of Gerrie Coetzee, who beat Dokes?

    Nova was a top contender in his day!
