Of course all 4 were the reigning champ s dethroned by atg s Johnson, Dempsey, Louis and rock. Who was the top man of the 4 in your opinion?
Not much between the two rez I agree. Head to head on his best day I pick Jersey. Burns and Braddock similar hard one, burns less defeats and a decent title run whereas Braddock pulled of the biggest upset against baer. So I plum for Walcott Willard And Braddock and burns pretty even.
I went for Walcott. Not that familiar with Braddock's run as a light heavy, he was a top contender at that division from memory. Apart from beating an old Johnson, what did Willard actually do? I would go Walcott - Braddock - Burns - Willard.
Wlacott for me is the standout of the group, because he pretty much cleaned out the top contenders of his day. I don't think that you would make that claim of the others. Take Walcott out, and the question becomes trickier.
Didn't Braddock beat three top ten contenders in a row, then beat Baer? Braddock was the best of those four.
