    Baer shows up well trained and ready to fight. Baer beat a slick boxer in Max Schmeling. Who wins?

    Usyk wins easily, the skill gap is too big for Baer to overcome...

    Usyk by early round KO. Baer was highly overrated.

    Baer had a really good chin. Can't see Usyk getting him early.

    Wouldn’t be close, but I’m sure the clash of personalities would make for a fun build up.

    Baer was not that far removed from his best when he lost the title. Oleksandr Usyk is a much better version of James J. Braddock, and he is a lefty. Max Baer's chin and hard puncher's threat sees him to the final bell. I will go with Oleksandr Usyk by Decision win over Max Baer.
