    I like this one...It's for the purists (masochists) like me. I think Willie's speed of hand and foot would make a difference. Fast flurries and left jabs from WP...just scoring flurries with no intention of a ko or kd even...point scoring only. A 15 round decision for Pastrano that puts all but the most dedicated fans asleep.

    "Hitting the deck"? Why? Tripping over a loose boot lace or something?

    From Willie? Man, you're the one that's tripping lol. This bout would be a testament to non-violence. Neither guy...and I love em' both...had no interest in hurting anybody.

    They'd absolutely split a series but I favor Rosenbloom on pure resume here

    But goodness gracious would it be boring

    Wouldn't it now....but I'd watch it...especially if it were a title double header with a third Emile Griffith-Joey Archer bout.....or a triple header with an Nicolino Locche-Sammy Angott match!!

    Rosenbloom's stacked resume suggests he wins this.

    I'm going to make one positive pick in this fight. It's going the distance.

    I'd do the same, but for Rosenbloom
