    Prior to 1938?
    It looked like Steele was a terror at middleweight. He absolutely decimated Vince Dundee.
    Or would Conn out box him?

    Steele could definitely beat Conn. There aren't very many people I'd favor over at or around middle.

    Steele fought from 105 pounds as a 14 year old kid all the way to middleweight.

    Steele was 124-3 at one time. Two of his losses were due to a broken breast bone, and he avenged two other losses.

    Unbelievable stuff. And I can say that actually having seen more then one of his fights.

    You've seen more of his fights than I have...all I've seen is the devastation of Dundee. What fights have you seen and what were your impressions, Russell?
