What if Tommy Farr vs Len Harvey
Who would win this match up between Tommy Farr and Len Harvey at heavyweight? The man who gave the Brown Bomber his best in Louis' first out of 25 heavyweight title defenses or a British light heavyweight who held the British heavyweight title and they both had a good left jab. In my opinion, Farr would out-jab Harvey through 15 rounds to take a decision. What is your opinion?

Re: What if Tommy Farr vs Len Harvey
If the bout takes place in 1938 at Heavyweight then Farr wins fairly comfortably on points. His extra weight and the jab make the difference.
If the bout takes place in 1935 and at light-heavy then the reverse happens. Harvey on points, even more comfortably.

This match-up has all the attraction of Saul Montana vs Donny Lalonde... Very few care who wins.

I'd take Farr by wide margin decision. Harvey was tough with a tough chin, but was predominantly MW and LHW.

It would have been a great match up between them, but Farr fought bigger fights.
