    :lol: Holy ****. Why have I never thought of this one before? It's literally never crossed my mind.

    Who wins this battle of the absolute unmitigated geniuses?

    I take Wolgast via UD

    Also while you didn't do this hypothetical, you did pit both against Wilde back in 2011, so you had them fight via proxy technically

    Man, that's some stalking.

    What was the feeling on that issue?

    This goes down to who could make the other lead IMO...although Wolgast was more comfortable there and had fast feet to get in and out. I believe that with his constant moving/punching style he may cause similar issues past prime Canto had with Park.

    So Wolgast by decision perhaps. This is difficult though as the only footage we have of Wolgast near his flyweight prime was when he was struggling with the weight against Montana. That footage suggests that Canto might’ve been able to matador his way to a decision.

    Tentatively: Wolgast via decision. All I’m certain is that it goes the distance even if they fight 100 times.

    I agree with @Flea Man.

    Wolgast is so under appreciated its frightening.
