    Honestly, Fergy I couldn’t say. Anytime you have two powerful hitters with questionable defenses and poor stamina anything could happen.

    That's true, mate.
    It can be Benn v Barkley or Benn v McKellen.

    I think George would dog it out, but it would be rough.
    Shavers was a bit of a one trick pony but it was one hell of a trick. I've never seen Holmes as tentative and careful vs anyone like with Shavers. That power was real, his delivery was quite quick and straight and he had decent fundamentals and knew how to set up his punches. At least before he started tiring.

    Did I imply or say Shavers had Godly power?
