Line produced the goods over his career and should make it in losing only to Mr. Slack (twice) and that little DQ. He had a good run as the English champ.

Having lost a small fortune on favorable odds that Line would last at least ten minutes against Slack in their first meeting, I cannot cast a ballot for him no matter how many snifters are set in front of me.

Gondazeamon and Hunt it is.
