    It hurts somebody. I'm just not sure who.

    Baer was a practising Catholic despite what some will tell you.

    Exactly.

    The only way for them all to be right, is if every era in history has been weaker than the last!

    I'd pick the best Walcott and Charles to counterpunch him into oblivion. But, Max Baer would be a dangerous opponent because of his punching power and he did beat Schmeling.

    Charles batters him, Walcott clowns him, they both had light years better footwork.
    They’d predict his patterns, Charles would beat him in every department, in close or at range, he’s quicker, better timing, better IQ, he’d be that step ahead of him, he’d be thinking steps ahead and Baer would only be able to think in the moment which would mean Charles could read Baer.
    Walcott couldn’t afford to exchange too much, but he’d constantly walk Baer onto that counter right and he’d also just be able to outjab him all night.

    I don't see either being able to absorb Baer's right

    From what I saw he beat Louis once and got robbed of that decision
