    McCall vs

    Max Baer
    Primo Carnera
    Jack Sharkey
    Max Schmeling
    Tony Galento
    Buddy Baer

    Could McCall beat the bunch or does he pick up some losses?

    I can see him beating Carnera and Galento. Probably Buddy Baer too given his amazing chin. Max Baer would probably win decision. Sharkey would school him.

    I'd only favour him over Galento and Buddy.

    I don't know, with Mccall, he's such an hot and cold guy. Never know which version turns up.
    Anyway assuming he turns in his absolute best performance against these fellas, I'd say
    He kos Buddy Baer in 10.
    Stops Galento in 6
    Kos Carnera but it's an akward fight.
    Draws with Sharkey
    Loses on point s to Schmeling.
    Loses on points to Max Baer.

    Forgot to add Schmeling - he'd clearly outbox him to decision.

    I'd add Carnera to the list and I'm solid with it

    McCall knocks em all with the exception of maybe Schmeling, who I still think he could reasonably beat.

    There is no reason to bet on McCall knocking out Sharkey or Baer.

    There is for me. Sharkey, though a decent fighter in most areas, was ordinary to me, and would get knocked. McCall was far more concentrated than Baer, and indestructible, and therefore I have him beating Baer.

    Carnera was a better boxer than given credit for. He had a good jab and some good movement and could tie his man up.
