    At a catchweight of 105lbs, 15 rounds, who takes it?

    Barry is hard to assess. He seems to have been exceptional, but I don't see him on Wilde's level.

    It's an interesting one, and I wish I had more to say on it.

    Choynski stated he was the greatest fighter he ever witnessed, that has credibility to it. Beyond that, his resume is hard to judge, agreed.

    Picking Wilde here is safe, good choice

    Croot fought Barry evenly, but Barry caught him, and KOed him with 35 seconds to go, some Hollywood stuff. But perhaps at 60 fights he was a bit too shopworn. Who knows.

    Hard to say how good Croot was too.
