    The fans win.

    It could be a classic.

    It is hard to be sure which of these two swarmers was better but when Hart was champion he wasnt thought to be in Sharkeys league.

    Hart won well in one of his encounters with a still reasonably good Ruhlin but then again there was no Bill Hanrahan in Tom's career! A pick 'em fight if ever there was one and I pick ........................................................Hart. Janitor is correct IMO the fans would be the big winners.

    Both guys had a lot of heart and Stamina.

    Sharkey had a more dynamic track you down approach, probably hit harder and took a better punch.

    IMO, Shakrey in his prime was better than Hart in his.

    would be a great fight, both fighters coming in on the attack. I would take a pre-Jeffries II Sharkey over the fighting Kentuckian, but would be very excited before the fight, knowing that it would be a great styles match.

    I pick Sharkey because I do believe him to be the more durable of the two opponents and his rough, not by the book tactics, could possibly throw Hart off of his game.

    Hart was a dirty so-and -so too and possibly a better boxer,intriguing.
