    When the lineal title actually means something again!

    To be honest, i never really knew he wasnt the lineal champion:shock:

    Who is the lineal champion now?

    Put it this way. If Marvin Hagler was still around and knocking every one out, nothing other than a loss or series of poor performances against second rate opposition would stop Golovkin getting his chance.

    Willard probably would have retained his title against Wills in a no decision bout.

    His style doesn't gel too well against Willard in my mind and we probably see Jess take a decision.

    The lumbering giant against the rough house spoiler.

    Just watch Valuev vs Ruiz.

    Harry won't be able to fight his normal fight against a much bigger man and will have to rely on infighting and slipping the jab which is not something he's accustomed to doing.

    He'll get in more often than not but once there they'll just smother each other. No leverage will be on any punches.

    I doubt there'll be any knockout blows.

    I can't see Wills taking a decision even if he deserves one.
