    I wish I knew. This would be a pure chess match of cunning and wits. Not sure who I’d favor but wouldn’t be surprised with any outcome

    Really tough to figure. Sneaking suspicion Schmeling figures him out for a late KO but anything is on the table.

    Schmeling was his superior. Late round KO or points win.

    Schmeling outclasses Jersey Joe. Don't get me wrong, Walcott was slick and had great tricks, but Max was overall much more consistent in applying his skillset.
