    Fitz because the power will translate. Corbett cannot outbox modern champions and him being able to adapt to the modern game is purely speculative. But Fitz is capable of knocking them out.

    What is especially crucial is Fitzsimmons ability to cut down as low as 154 and still keep his power. 148s his lowest recorded weight. Goddard with comparable power would only be able to make CW and HW(and now Bridgerweight!!). But Fitzsimmons can make 6-7 different weight classes.

    I would say Bob Fitzsimmons is more likely to grab a world belt, and possibly in more than one weight class today.
