    Best vs best? Probably Willard. Less skilled, but, much tougher.

    Akinwande beat better heavies and would beat Willard.

    I can’t even get off the ground to analyse this match up. Lol. Okay, Akinwande beat John Fury - due qualification that he would also beat Big Jess. That’s the best I’ve got.
