That is the most hateful thing I've ever read or heard against Johnson! You go too far, sir.

No as Braddock would have only been 8 yrs old in 1915.

Seriously though i think Braddock could have beaten the 37 yr old Johnson, of course if it was earlier in Johnsons title reign then i think Braddock would have lost.

The Willard fight offers us uncertainty of how Johnson would have coped with Braddock over 15 rounds, as Willlard entered bout with Johnson expecting and almost planning to lose early part of the 45 round bout, coming on stronger later.

Would the fight have been exciting to watch, i think answer to that would be a big no

Ill say, maybe not the most pretty of fights.. Unless Johnson feels the fight slipping away from him. We might see some urgency from him trying to recover and Jack of old, bringing out his box of expertise to nail Braddock. But with only 15 rounds to do so he may find the fight had slipped away from him!

Over 15 rounds, my money would be on Johnson to win by decision.
