The 30s just like the 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s was not about a fighter protecting his unbeaten record like it is today, fighters could have several losses on their record yet still get a deserved title shot.

All of the above....

Im surprised at how many legit superheavyweights existed in this particular era and how a guy like ABe SImon easily roughed up Joe Louis. Makes me rethink Lewis v Louis....

1. Max Baer
2. Max Schmelling
3. Primo Carnera
4. Buddy Baer
5. Abe Simon

Sharkey is the most over-rated Heavyweight in the first half of the century. Doesnt make my top 5.
