I made this myself, here is the early 1950s vs early 1960s. who was better ???? i will choose a winner after each day of polling and listening to peoples perspectives and by the end i will see which early decade won more matches.

matchups are like this: the ranked heavyweight from the early 50s and early 60s will face the fighter that has the same rank so for example:

10 vs 10

6 vs 6

1 vs 1

I did the ratings myself. so here it is....

First Matchup for BOxrec to discuss:
# 10 Doug Jones Early 60s vs # 10 Clarence Henry early 50s

bump who wins doug jones or clarence henry???

I'd say Clarence. To my way of thinking Doug was over rated.

i would have to take clarence... doug was probably a little overrated at the time, but regardless i think clarence was just the better fighter.

ok talk for doug jones-clarence henry is closed.


we will go on to the next matchup...

# 9 BOb Baker vs # 9 George Chuvalo


who wins???

Chuvalo toughs it out. Comes out on top in a 15 rd decision.
