    How would this play out over 4 rounds?

    I think Willie might sneak out a decision here. Am I the only one?

    :lol: Willie may win the first ten seconds. Tyson the next two minutes. Tyson in less than two rounds.

    Willie was a 4 round king...never know what kind of trouble he would give Mike...my guess would be Mike stops him but Willie hung in with many good punchers

    he beat Sam Langford and Jack Dempsey and Jack Dillon and others and stayed the 4 round limit with many...never know

    Fat Willie Vs Tony Galento for me has more appeal, winner to face Don Cockall ??

    Since Dempsey and Tysons results are vs common opponents automaticaly interchangeable, except that Tyson does the same thing verry slightly better, I would suggest a split series with Tyson winning more of the fights on points.

    Are you sure you haven't done this exact thread before, Seamus ?

    With the same pics and all. :lol:


    The definitive answer is no one knows, because there is no footage of Willie Meehan. Many good fighters had trouble with his style. He was a spoiler.

    Each time people are getting too excited over old time fighters, Seamus sure likes to rub our noses in it.

    I guess that would be your idea of culinary artistry!

    Don't be absurd! It would take several rounds for Meehan to discourage Tyson, who was just a bully that lost to every single fighter ever who stood up to him. Over 12 rounds, the Fat One turns the trick.

    Do I detect sarcasm?
    Willie was no adonis, but he could fight, over 4 rounds he gave fits to some very good men including .
    Miske
    Smith
    Clarke
    Dempsey
    Langford

    It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he might be able to emulate that against Tyson is it?


    I see you have done your usual ,and picked the worst pic you could find of him, as you did of Hart in another thread. Naughty! Naughty!


    Here is a more mature ,rotund Willie in aggressive mode.

    Laying the wood to Al Norton.
