    Harding would win by a reasonable margin, might even stop him late.

    I'm going to do a peak Cockell versus the Holmes of the Butterbean fight but it's too soon.

    Cockell had some decent scalps, but they were actually mostly at heavyweight, he lost to Turpin at 175lbs who actually weighed in the low 160s for that fight.

    I’d have to pick Harding here, especially since fighters from the 50s didn’t have much experience with southpaws.
