The Fitzsimmons height advantage is more than negated by Sullivan's reach and weight advantages. Sullivan only had one loss in his career (stopped by Corbet in round 21, past his prime). Bob Fitzsimmons had many losses, in more than one weight division, and he was stopped seven times (some past his prime). It is amazing what Bob accomplished in the Heavyweight Division, as a natural Middleweight. Bob has a stylistic advantage over Sullivan, but, in this case, I do not think it is enough to prevail over John L.

Prime vs. prime, I believe we would see a good, interesting scrap, for as long as it lasted. I am picking John L. Sullivan to stop Bob Fitzsimmons between rounds seven and twelve.
