    We do it 20 rounds, in 75 degree indoor arena. 1940 rules (except for the 20 round aspect of course) and gloves...how does it go.

    For me Willard would take a decision.

    Willard easy. The day he fought Jj Willard was fit to fight any man in the world. Cobb really was nothing more than a two legged punching bag....no punch just great durability. Willard had a huge punch with his right hand. Its tough to envision Cobb being stopped but over 20 rounds......it then becomes a possibility.

    I think this is the first time i've seen Willard pretty much unanimously picked in a fantasy match up and the first time ive picked him to win

    Willard's telescopic jab piles up the points against the ultra durable but severely limited Tex to take a clear decision.
