I think Hamsho is too strong for him, would smother Vito as they met face to face and dug in to work on the inside. Vito rallies late (if he's not stopped on cuts) but not enough. Close but UD for Hamsho IMO.
Vito was not a big MW and he could have made 154 lbs . Hamsho was a strongman and ended his career at LHW. This fight would be more suited to a phone booth and would be a mauling , clubbing , rough fight. Both would be cut badly but this would more from head butts than punches. Hagler ended up in hospital from first Hamsho fight from Hamsho head butts. Hamsho on pts in a bloody fight.
Maybe the ugliest fight ever proposed on here, Who's the better boxer? Vito, maybe? I'd say Vito would win because he was a world champion
Although smaller I think Vito may be stronger with those powerlifter looking legs and neck but Hamsho is heavier faster not by much and bigger. Vito is the better boxer but Hamsho hits harder. It boils down to cuts as stated above. Hamsho was flat out dirty. He'll use his heavier weight and bigger frame to maul and push Vito around as best he can and use his head elbows to cut the sh#t out of Vito forcing a stoppage. Vito has the better resume and is the better fighter but Hamsho's style and size advantage as well as being dirty as f#ck wins him this really tough fight.
