    Both big guys who were rarely if ever in ideal shape. Mathis had the better record but probably didn’t fight as many contenders or prospects. Might be fun for a bit

    If both are in top shape I'd pick Mathis. When Mathis was around 225-230 lbs and motivated he was a very capable fighter, but unfortunately he couldn't stay consistent with his training or his diet.

    Mathis would probably edge Broad in a close fight.

    Increases my respect for the version of Jerry Quarry who could "take apart Buster Mathis like a Marcedes mechanic.

    Buster Mathis vs James Broad. Both would have given each other a chest bump to end the fight. Ha Ha.

    Broad was good, but he wasn't good enough. If Marvis could win a UD over him (Yes, it was still a competitive fight), then I have no doubt that Mathis could.
