    Philadelphia versus Pittsburgh. Two highly regarded boxers from different eras.
    15 rounds at light heavyweight. Who and why?

    I would take Conn by the slimest of margins. Johnson had a nice jab and was tall. But Conn would probably be a little to slick for him.

    Conn W 15 Johnson

    I'll go the other way and say Harold Johnson by UD. Both are master boxers, but I think Johnson, being the naturally bigger man, will outslick Conn in an interesting bout.

    These are very good boxers , great actually , i think Conn was faster , but Johnos more crafty maybe . A very tough fight that could be either man's fight . Would be the distance though , im takin Conn here
