    would the acorn with the shaky chin beat the fat man?

    Galento by ko. This outcome of this fight would be determined by who had the superior chin. Galento's was better. I see the same kind of result that quarry vs. shavers had. Against big punchers earnie's chin failed him, not to mention that his defence wasn't the best.

    It would be a war while it lasted, but my pick is tony by 2nd round ko.

    Good match-up, I see this one ending in Tony's favor around the fifth round ala Tex Cobb vs Shavers. I think Tony would soak up some punishment through the first three rounds and then start to take over and hammer Earnie as he quickly started to tire.
