    Baer hit about as hard as Wilder. Arguably he had a better chin and this fight would be a slug fest, neither has exceptional defense. Who wins this one?

    Mods if this is in the wrong section, please move. I don't think it is, could be wrong.

    I think that we may fairly safely assume that Baer had the better chin.

    The only advantage I see for Wilder here is reach. I'm a about 70-30 in favor of Baer.

    A slug fest of massive proportions.
