    All of them, by KO, by outclassing and outlanding.

    I would agree ,but I think Willard would have done well in the LPR tourney.

    Yeah, who and when? What type of thing? Presumably you don't see Johnson getting rid of him before Fitz or fighting the same type of fight? What do you see? I always thought Willard would have given Marciano or Frazier a difficult night, any of these guys?

    If nothing else Willard has a good maybe great chin. Willard loses on points to Johnson, and maybe Corbett, with a possible stunner vs Jeffries. I think of him and Jeffries in the same mold. If Fitz couldn't put the quietus on Jeff he's going to be hard-pressed putting the Pottawotamie Giant away! Willard may pull the ostrich act against Fitz tho and hold back because his opponent is so small, allowing Fitz to possibly do a Toledo on him!

    All of them should beat Willard.
