    George Godfrey vs. Elmer Ray. An interesting fantasy match up of two men who never had the chance to fight for the title.

    On paper we should conclude that ray was the more acomplished, but contemporary testimony and styles suggest that Godfrey might have a good shot.

    Right. Use the Godfrey who fought in the 1920's and 1930's.
