    Farr. The hypothetical prime version might shut him out.

    Farr beat Tommy Loughran(a peer of Harry Greb) at age 22 and went the distance with peak Joe Louis at 24. The Loughran win was not a popular decision but Farr was on a totally different level than Bonavena when things were clicking.

    Farr is capable of winning this,but as his results in the US show,he is also capable of losing it.

    I think Farr would put on a good fight,a close one, but Oscar would get the decision.
