    On paper he should beat everybody on that list, except perhaps Tucker.

    In practice he probably finds a way to lose a couple more.

    I'm not sure where you see the correlation considering that it was Lennox Lewis who fought all of them save Alex Stewart.

    But to answer the OP I'd say that Baer does reasonably well but probably:

    Loses to:
    Tucker and Ruddock,

    50:50 with:
    Morrison and Bruno

    And likely beats the rest.

    LOL sorry. Fergy has been trolled before by some dude that claims all his threads are about Mike Tyson. I was just continuing the ribbing :D Obviously this has nothing to do with Tyson ;)

    You could probably make Tucker a favorite based on styles.

    Ruddock is the kind of guy who could beat him, if he was not on his A game.

    I doubt that either Morison or Bruno would beat him.

    He could screw up and still beat them!

    Tucker s the type of fighter that could give any top heavy a good fight .Great chin ,mobile and solid jab.Bruno I believe loses to him over the long stretch but its not a white Wash IMO.Ruddock's another dangerous one but had a habit of losing the big fights.

    He would beat Stewart and the overrated Morrison who looked good against shot fighters like Thomas or Ruddock.

    It's pertinent to consider the effect modern gloves would have on Baer's power. I think it's a significant one.
