    I have already pushed a bureau in front of my door for protection. Who do you like here, prime vs. prime?

    I am going with Leon.

    Leon might have some early success here,but sooner or later the sharp shooting Cornishman would find the spot with something big and have Spinks on ***** street and Fitz was an excellent finisher.I'll give Neon Leon 8 rds before Old Bob manages to lower the boom.

    Fitz because I'd like him to win, and I can't be bothered putting any more thought into this one.

    I know, some will argue that Leon was one of the weakest HW champions, and he certainly had one of shortest "primes"... but I will stick my neck out (and wait for the incoming abuse!) and say, that on his best day (obviously first Ali fight) I would take him to beat the Fitz that dethroned Corbett.

    Is the question whether Fitz stops him, or whether he kills him?

    Fitz is so far above Leon, Leons strength will buy him a few rounds, Bob will counter knowing whats in front of him and then Ko's Leon when the time is right, say the 8th or 9th after administering a beating
