    A wise man would make Schmeling the favorite, but the wisest would add a note of caution to that.

    Braddock was the champion for a reason!

    Schmeling, he'd outbox Braddock badly.

    Schmeling would definitely be the favorite, however, if fought in the United States (very likely), and goes the distance, who knows? I'd also advise Schmeling strongly to keep his punches up, way up.
