    I was watching a documentary about Braddock and wondered what would happen if he met Bob Foster, Archie Moore, Matthew Saad Muhammad and Dwight Qawi in the ring.

    Braddock was better at HW and should have been there all along.

    He was more effective as a point fighter at HW then as a power puncher at LHW.

    They should cook him pretty easily, like Loughran did

    Is this Braddock on a roll at light heavy, Braddock the heavyweight champion, or something between?

    Prime Braddock with healthy hands and a full belly was an excellent prize fighter, not the jabroni some here paint him as, but I don’t like him in these LH matchups. Cruiserweight maybe.
