    The last match-up of the 5 interim champions who never actually met in the ring. A 15 rounder of course. Who emerges victorious?

    IMO this is the toughest to handicap. Pretty even match-up..Sharkey when he is 'good' would take this...by close decision. I'm going in that direction.

    Sharkey was not a good fighter who was scupered by his issues he was a great fighter who was scupered by his issues. He is probably the most talented if not the best heavyweight between Tunney and Louis and at his best Braddock couldnt shine his shoes.

    For all that Braddock would have an excelent chance of beating him if his hands held up. I would not be in any way shocked if he did.
