    I know McGovern is more known for his FW stint, but given the weight limit and the fact he'd already been BW champion I think we can envision how he would fare in the BW division.

    We know Harada has twice beaten the man who most class as the number 1 BW in history (h2h and greatness).

    I can only envision this fight being a barnstormer but how would it go? Could Harada do a Corbett, take McGoverns best shots and knock him spark out, or would McGovern overwhelm him as he did pretty much everyone else?

    Harada could be caught (albeit by a trapster like Jose Medel). He loved to come forward though, and McGovern came out like a house aflame. If forced to pick I think it's a good stylistic match for McGovern.

    I think McGovern can be competitive with any BW.

    Just not sure how highly i favour him over any BW.

    Damn. Awesome fight.

    I go with Harada simply as I'm more knowledgeable of him.
