We all know that Flipper came allong in the golden era of heavyweight boxing while Moby Dick was decidedly old school yet strong on offense. Who takes it?
I'm going with the upset. Although he may have to get up off the ocean bottom once, Flipper would win a split decision over 12 rounds here...uh...in my opinion, of course.
Flipper could use his smaller size to his advantage; it makes him a much smaller target while with Moby being so big it would be hard for Flipper to miss the White Whale. Flipper uses his superior speed and agility to pile up the points while evading Moby Dick's power in the earlier rounds, then survives the late rounds to win a close decision. Flipper SD 15, doing what Ahab couldn't.:yep
Well Moby feasted on much smaller opponents,who were past their best,[Gregory Peck was in his 40's],so we dont really know how he would do against someone near his own size eg Jaws or Orca .Also Moby's victims were all white,dont think he beat Daggoo ,he drowned. I think Flipper would probably be dsqd for too much chattering . Hope this helps.
Flipper would be a better trainer than fighter. Seems to be able to make those around him comprehend what he is saying, even when he is talking jibberish.
