    Why not say Tiger? Tiger could beat him. Tiger was several levels better than Briscoe. Only one to crack that Tiger chin was Foster. And Valdez, although a big punching middleweight, did NOT hit like Bob Foster!

    Gene Fullmer is a tough match.

    Fair enough...I just said that because Tiger/Valdez was recently discussed. I agree that Tiger could beat him.IMO.

    Yeah come to think of it Fullmer would be tough. It's not a long list though, is it?

    I'm not so sure that any aggressive middleweight would fare to well against Valdez...witness the second Briscoe bout...Valdez could move like a cat...and he was a real bomber. Valdez needed to be finessed...with toughness and power, like Monzon did.

    I agree, Fullmer would be tough, because he had that wierd plan B style that he used vs Basilio and Tiger in their draw . Of course, I have a higher regard for Fullmer than many other posters do.

    I think Valdez would smash Fullmer. I think that fight looks like Tiger-Fullmer only worse because Valdez was more versatile than Tiger. Even then the instant Fullmer realized that Tiger was the stronger man he went from being aggressive to running like a thief all night in both of their first and second fights and got brutalized in their third.
