    A. How do you think this bout would look through Paul Gallicos eyes?
    B. Do you believe that either fighter would've collected their purses if this bout happened in 1932?
    C. Do you believe that the fighters would be barred, or banned by any of the boxing commissions due to the performance?

    I ask the question, because it seems as though writers and organizing bodies in those days were much harsher towards fighters. And thought it would be interesting to view a modern one sided fight like this, through a 1930's perspective. And I also think it relates to fighters like Carnera, who seemed to have drawn suspicion from his 1 round knockouts.
