    He probably loses to most of them but who does he have the best chance of beating? Who destroys him in the most devastating fashion?

    Johnson was arguably the least developed one out of the rest, Fitzsimmons can probably pull off an upset.

    Least developed? Different rules, If A guy today his size tried to fight Fitz under his rules he’d be whooped.

    Still man,looking at how he frames at his opponents and with how they just tried pushing forward without even trying to clear his hand...

    Forced to pick one, I guess it would be Johnson.

    However, I still think prime Johnson would absolutely shut down Fitz’s offence.

    I should also note that I don’t believe Ketchel’s KD of Johnson was legit at all.

    However, if one does accept that KD as legit - I can understand how they might base the possibility of a Fitz win on same.
