    Max Schmeling had a solid chin.
    He got stopped 5 times in 70 fights.
    3 of those stoppages were before he was 23 years old, and the other 2 are to Max Baer and Joe Louis.

    Schmeling takes some huge shots on film, from soild punching heavyweights. The first fight with Joe Louis, he was taking a lot of Louis's bombs in the early rounds.

    depends on which Baer showed up pre Braddock I can't see Donald being able to keep Baer off of him though

    On the face of it i immediately thought Baer by decision.. Donald had skills , but he was never as hungry as Max, he was from a different era.. Larry was a flicking puncher , he was quite safety first and never really came to fruition when the division was quite weak.. Max was champ in an era with a few very tough *******s.. Its an odd one though, like many mixed era dream matchups..
