    I don't know, I think it would be really, really boring with Max trying to min-jab and Toney trying to slip and counter not much. Toney might be able to flurry here and there to scoop up rounds where nothing really happens.

    I think I favour Schmeling but I think it would be dull and slow enough that disputable cards will be produced.

    So "wait" is my answer.

    Do you think that any of this would be new to Schmeling?

    Yes, he never fought anyone with a shell defense. And his lack of jab would make his right hands very easy for even fat Toney to see coming.
