    It’s Sharkey’s fight to lose tbh, sure he’s a class above Cleve but he’s also Jack Sharkey. Underperforming against lesser talents is kind of his thing

    Yeah but this is his best night, Sharkey absolutely toys with Williams - step way too far for the “Big Cat” the “Gob” (lol) is a pheromonal fighter when he was performing and not an anxious, excitable, diva with a bad attitude.

    Sharkey being on his best night is as likely as Ali accepting a fight against Tire Iron Jones

    Too true good thing for forum magic, Sharkey on his best night. Tire Iron might’ve dropped Ali in sparring through some guys said it was a tangle of legs etc.

    Sharkey should win but as usual, it depends on if he's in a manic phase or a depressive phase, because he was that kind of fighter.

    Muhammad Ali was good but he's no Tire Iron Jones

    I think the best Sharkey would clearly win a decision.

    Williams by KO and probably fairly early. A different level of athlete, the modern super athlete, to which a bumblin', stumblin', loafer with questionable heart like Sharkey would appear a new breed entirely. The gap is vast. Vast., I say.
