Before Ezz went to war it was actually in talks in late 1942. Young Bronx Bull wanted to have a 20 rounder in throwback style even for 1940's standards and Ezz was the only one cool with it.
it turned out to be harder to find a location who would sanction it.. War messed it up.
I'd say Cobra by unanimous decision. helluva war thou. Battling Nelson and Wolgast style.

Me three with the Cobra out-boxing and punishing the Raging Bulls behind his jabs and combinations through 15 rounds to take a decision despite being unable to knock him out because of LaMotta's iron chin.
