    I respect you and your pick...it is certainly plausible. I think quite highly of Rose myself...and as has been said in other threads, I do admit to a chandler bias.

    Bias aside I rate Rose Higher (top 10) at BW than Jeff (top 15), I am admittedly high (This is where the bias comes into play) on Jeff H2H. I think it’s a close fight but one that Jeff would edge.

    Harada destroys Zarate. And it wouldn't even be his 3rd best win.

    Harada wouldn't destroy Zarate (unfortunately hey Morlocks lol). I can see Zarate possibly winning a decision. He stops a lazy Harada, that could turn up at times. Caraballo hit a lazy Harada with some terrific shots at the start. Zarate could definitely do that. Prime harada, though, offers problems like Davila did IMO, but more extensive.

    I think Harada gives him a lot of trouble.

    I fall somewhere between you and George. I don’t see a destruction but I do believe Harada would likely win. And perhaps (I was JK to Morlocks lol) not wide as I said...but 9-6 would be my guess. I think his pressure sees him through.

    His jab and fleet aggressive footwork would be key to earn a possible win. If anyone's getting rocked, though, it's Harada. And I fleshed out my post a bit.

    Both of these guys could be inconsistent. I'd pick the very best Rose over the very best Chandler....the Harada win is more impressive than any win of Chandler's. But I'd narrowly pick Chandler over Rose in general.

    Now he says Harada destroys Zarate and its I guess a **** win, but when I say Walker ( a proven middleweight/ welterweight great) takes out Steele, you guys flip out.

    Maybe i am in an alternate universe where known history and accepted opinions are reversed.

    Oh I don't know, like this...
    See that, a ridiculous statement from yourself and a classy straight to the point reply from Keed.

    It makes no sense unless I see the entire context of what I was replying to.
