    Who would've won if they both were at their best?

    Either Baer would knock out Sharkey late, or Sharkey would win a wide points decision, and then weep hysterically.

    I'll take Sharkey provided it's prime cause prime. Sharkey could box, he outpointed Godfrey and would have stopped Wills had he not fouled out.
    Baer had the power to stop him of course but Baer wasn't much of a boxer and Sharkey moved pretty well both at the waste and by foot.
    Tough to call both were prone to off nights
