    That's a reasonable answer.Sharkey added 9 lbs for their second fight. Max was 188lbs for both .

    Sharkey wasn't known to participate in fixes, was he?

    If it was a fake then I've seen legitimate fights that were less convincing. Perhaps Liston should have hired Sharkey to train him...

    Anyway, we'll have to agree to differ.

    Schmeling for sure. Primo couldn't defend the over the top right.

    There is a very legitimate reason to believe those wins on his resume are suspect though

    A decision win for Schmeling. Schmeling was by far the better fighter.

    His Manager Johnny Buckley had an unsavoury reputation and he was friendly with some "faces".

    No problem with that.Sharkey's manager and his wife had their doubts about the legitimacy of the ko,but only Sharkey could tell us for sure, and he is fly casting in Valhalla now.

    I think, after giving him a methodical beating Max stops Primo in about 10 rounds.

    A stoppage win for Schmeling is not beyond the realms of likelihood.

    I like how Sharkey fixes the fight by taking a dive in the most brutal fashion possible.
