    I think that Willard would win.

    His physical advantages, and the fact that Sharkey would need a knockout, would decide the outcome of the fight!

    I do too, but I'm voting Sharkey. Why? Coz I love him.

    Yeah, Willard was probably durable enough to sustain Sharkey's attacks.

    With shorter duration (15-20 rounds) it's getting closer as I think that Sharkey would overwhelm Willard. He'd keep coming and coming.

    Willard would be too big and powerful

    Until he's stopped by a right uppercut.
