    I might lean towards Buddy because his top end work was a bit better, but honestly it could go either way.

    Now here's a great matchup Goo. I think Williams is the better more explosive fighter here and i think he'd wear Baer down for a late TKO.

    Winner by Ko in Round 7..Cleveland Williams.
    A war, and Buddy throws some hard leather his way. But Cleveland bounces back to blast Baer to the canvas.
    Would love to see this.

    It doesn't seem to be good matchup for Cleveland Williams. He's not durable and his defense wasn't great either.

    Cleveland Williams round 5 TKO. If the fight is explosive with both of them equally exchanging blows... I'd edge Williams on this one.

    I think Williams should do well, with the caveat that I have seen little Buddy Baer.

    I don’t think it’s a good matchup for either man. Think Cleveland may just beat him to the punch though. Max is another story he’d destroy cleveland.

    If Williams fights smart and uses his mobility and handspeed advantage he could beat Buddy, but if Williams tries to fight Buddy head on and go for a knockout like he did against Satterfield or Liston Buddy lays him out.

    I’d make Williams a comfortable favorite. I might however narrowly favor big bro Max to lay Cleve out. Hmmm

    What if Buddy lands that left hook that put Louis through the ropes? We could be looking at Baer KO 1 Williams
