Uzcudun was on the slide in1922 when he beat Baer? Yet he was ranked in25.26.27.&28? remarkable comeback!
He was 21, and it was you who wanted to compare their opponents at 20 and 21. So now we've established Miller, who outpointed a Champion of America, and beat an Australian Champion was a nonentity. Who did Baer beat at those ages who wasn't a nonentity?
They are. Baer lost quite a bit in his prime too. The bottom line is he was outboxed a few times by lesser men than Corbett and failed to stop too many guys he beat on points. No one is calling Baer on points here and the numerous decisions he dropped combined with the lack of Kos over boxer types suggest outside of lottery punch which is harder to land on an elusive type in Corbett. Baer’s chances aren’t good. Sure he can punch but he’s not fighting Tony Galento here.
