    I voted rose. But I hope Macklin does it. A few years ago i would of said Macklin. But he hasn't looked great in years

    Depends on what Macklin has left. A few years ago Macklin had the strength, aggressiveness and explosiveness. Rose is still in that stage of his career where he harbours hopes of more. Is Macklin in final pay day mode.

    Personally I think that Macklin is shot, not meant to be disrespectful, just my opinion. I think it depends on what MM has left. I can see Rose boxing him and winning clearly on points

    Is the fight at middle or light middle?

    Right now probably Rose. When he still had it, Macklin without doubt, would have been a ko in less than 6.

    Rose European level at best.

    Macklin at his best was fringe world level.

    Rose is really basic, doesn't punch hard, isn't particularly fast & doesn't have much of a chin. Even a past it Macklin beats him imo

    i think macklin still has enough in the tank to beat rose , i dont rate rose . macklin has been in with some very good fighters and i just think that higher level of experience will see him through .

    Think Rose if he boxes sensibly could stop Macklin here hes shot..

    Macklin hasn't looked good for a very long time and while Rose is no world beater hes a bit fresher than Macklin
