they actually fought but this was when farr was 40 and well past his prime and cockell knocked him out.

who do u think wins this matchup at there heavyweight primes?

- both are top 10 british heavies of all times

5'11 210lb don cockell vs 6' 205lb tommy farr

i would probably lean toward farr by close decision

I have only seen their respective World title challenges, but I feel on the strength of Farr's showing against Joe Louis he would have the edge in this one.

I would like to see the Cockell vs Farr fight to judge, just to see how much behind a faded Farr was in that fight.

Judging by the records, I too would favour Farr - but only just, I think Tommy's natural weight advantage would be a telling factor.

even though cockell was a former light-H and he had the weight problem, he still had excellent stamina and was very strong 210lbs. the condition made him seem flabby and out of shape but he was actually very strong and in excellent fighting condition.

im not totally sure, i know it was a glandur problem and it caused him to gain a lot of weight.
