    Yeah his feet look way different against Johnson than 4 years later. There are still many areas he looks painful in but in 1915 against Johnson he was a good fighter. I actually think Willard would have accomplished a lot more had had thrown far more punches, been more active. And of course, if he had more killer instinct which he probably lost after the bull young knockout

    I would say based on the new footage at his best he beats carnera Simon and B Baer, but loses to Wills. Fulton is a 50-50

    I don’t see him competing against any modern superheavyweight great
