    What!.. Where are you pulling these stats from? Your azz?

    Max Baer was one of the bigger guys Louis fought and Louis himself was 6'2 - same as Huck.

    Huck has 2-3 inches of what over Baer??

    And when did he have 15lbs over him?

    Baer weighed 229 pounds.

    The highest Huck weighed was 209 against Povetkin.

    Max would be too unskilled and primitive for a master technician like Povetkin. Povetkin takes this one. You only have to watch Max get humbled by the journeyman Jim Braddock to see how this one would go.

    :yep After Braddock broke his right hand in a fight he subsequently developed his left hand which gave him more two handed skills than Baer was used to seeing. Povetkin, on the other hand, had two handed skills and lateral movement instilled in his skill set from day one, just because he's a well trained modern boxer. Povetkin's two handed skills would be far greater than Braddocks ersatz two handed skills.

    How can you agree with what he's said?

    Fighters from over 20 years ago couldn't beat today's guys?
