Who wins between the St. Paul Thunderbolt and the Gentleman from Germany? Miske was a rugged guy from a rugged era who wasn’t afraid to mix with anyone. He came up short against Dempsey a couple of times, Greb (but got a newspaper draw depending on which rag you subscribe to) and lost two of three to Battling Lewinsky, but he fought a really good class of hard men and more than held his own. Maske, the southpaw, lost to Virgil Hill but won the rematch. His level of opposition wasn’t bad but pales in comparison to Miske’s. So, Billy of Minnesota or Henry from Deutschland? You call it.
