    Personally I think he goes 3-2-1

    I think he outboxes and moves Schmeling and Baer, has an ugly fight with Johnson where the judges could really give it either way, would be one to study for sure.
    I'd say Holmes uses his jab and takes him the distance
    Frazier lands his money punch and gets a KO

    Dempsey I think is a 50-50 fight which I can 100% believe arguments for a win on either side so I'm calling it a draw

    Beats Schmeling and Johnson decisively. Would favor Walcott over Baer but Baer is a live dog with that right

    I take Dempsey and Frazier to KO him, and Holmes to win a tight UD where Walcott makes him look bad in some of the rounds

    Walcott goes 3-3 IMO

    Pretty close then, I definitely agree Baer has a chance. I really like the idea of Johnson - Walcott it would be an excellent chess match

    I would make him even money against Schmeling and Baer, but I would make all the others favorites.

    I would also expect a few surprises with a fighter like him.
