    I think either Fitz KO's him pretty early
    Corbett (first fight) would probably decision him.
    Gus Ruhlin, I'm not sure about.
    Maybe he'd have trouble with Sharkey rushing him, it's just how he'd take Willard's shots, the size difference to stupid, but if Sharkey can get in close it might not be a bad thing for Sharkey, Sharkey was very crude though.

    I'd give Willard the rest.
