How does Schmeling come out against the following fighters and why? Ezzard Charles Jersey Joe Walcott Rocky Marciano Floyd Patterson Jerry Quarry Bob Fitzsimmons
Charles is a master boxer but he's a wee bit vulnerable above 175 - i'll pick Schmeling to catch him and hurt him before stopping him a couple of rounds later, say 10 or 11. This is a pick 'em. In my opinion, Max's hardest punches may have been harder and that might be enough to make a difference, but I wouldn't be laying any money on this one. I think Shmeling could beat Rocky, though I don't expect many to agree with me on this one. I think Rocky is the better fighter head to head but I also think that Max is a bit of a nightmare for him. A smart box-puncher who is an excellent counter-puncher and has one enormous shot. I'll pick Max by KO. Max, early. ...Max on points. ...Max on points. Seems I rate Max higher than I thought I did.
He beats Patterson Quarry Fitz Loses to Charles Walcott Marciano In his losses I would pick they would all be by UD He stopps all 3 I pick him to beat.
Schmeling Charles and Schmeling Walcott would be pick em fights. The kind of match ups that could end up in a split series. Schmeling Marciano would be more interesting than many might think because Schmeling was verry good against pressure fighters. I would still pick Marciano. Patterson would be made for Schmeling. He was verry good at using a pressure fighters forward momentum against them.
