Both lost to Mexican legends so i would say they were both great fighters.
Good post eagle!
Rose's achievment was exceptional. Beating Harada in Tokyo can not have been easy. Especially considering it was on points. I think weight issues, and a lack of drive to keep fighting effected him after that.
