    At welterweight, 15 rounds, two marauders who would take 10 to give one, who wins???

    Basilio might kill him.

    Agreed, as tough as Ward was he was limited and could only beat a world class fighter if the other fighter decided to stay close and trade hooks even then he was beatable.....Basilio was going toe to toe with middleweights and winning

    Basilio was a level above Ward.
