    Who do you think would have come out on top?

    I think most of the top 115 pounders of the era (Watanabe, Roman, Konadu, Moon) would've had a very good chance at beating Galaxy. His power would've always been a major equalizer, but I generally think the boxers of that group would get the job done and Moon would have just as good a chance (if not more so) of getting Galaxy out of there as vice-versa. I'd favor Watanabe more handily than either of the other two though, particularly Konadu, who I could see Galaxy catching big after being outboxed early on and probably going down himself.

    Jiro Watanabe would have had the best chance at beating Khaosai, provided he would have avoided Khaosai's deadly left hand.
