larry donald vs max baer

i cant see baer winning this. donald is far more skilled and has a great chin.

his jab would hit baer at will. its only a question of weather baer can last the course or the accumilative punishment sends him home before the bell.

i pick donald by ud.

 

that is bull****. of course there is a good chin vs max baer. he needed about 20 haymakers (legal and illegal) to stop schmelling.

he couldnt stop levinski in 30 rounds!!! and several others.

if a puncher like vitaly klitschko needed 10 rounds of pounding ( i mean hitting him flush) to stop him.

so i guess its save to say he can stand up to a single baer punch.

cause baer wouldnt do much landing anyways. his boxing skills were very poor at best. he even got himself off balance throwing a jab. watching him fight levinsky in reno was like watching two drunk sailors fight, almost comical.

donald wouldnt be able to miss him with the jab or straight right hand.

baer can make it to the bell cause he had a good chin. but anything else is out of the question.

 

i put up this thread for a reason: i always got the feeling that "old time fighters" were seriously overrated by several of the regular posters on here.

so to find out if there is any substance to your talk, i chose two fighters i know pretty well. and i looked at both very recently when i had it on my mind to test you with this thread...........in other words i did my homework.

i sat through twenty rounds of baer vs levinsky. i watched baer vs schmeling, louis, braddock and carnera.

the reason i picked these two was simple: baer is a typical subject of boxing lore.......a fighter who obviously lacked any type of boxing skill.
in other words, a fighter who was good in his time but would get owned by a modern heavyweight.

BUT HE IS AN "OLDTIMER"!!!

In the other corner i put an unliked fighter (due to his boring style), but in terms of skill lightyears ahead of baer. who also had a very good chin, thus minimizing the chance of him getting overwhelmed.

so in other words: if you have seen both fighters in action, you could only have baer coming in as a massive underdog.

Now i wanted to see what happens.

and it didnt take long for good old suzieQ barking out that "baer is in a different class than donald".

to this, let me just say this: anyone who stands by such an opinion has either not seen baer nor donald fight.
or simply lacks even the basic knowelge of boxing techniques.
