    This is quite an intruiging thread really.Willard ,for all his mobility limitations was very strong ,and durable and could hit.
    What conditions they fought under would be crucial, imo, spell that out and we could go on.

    i recently watched his highlights of the Moran fight and he did have some boxing ability. He looks like a very primitive wladimr Klitschko.
