    The Benitez that Barely beat Bruce was still young and Undisiplined. Whereas the Benitez that would face Donald(Welter, Jr. Middle.) was far more dedicated & disiplined. & IMO would have been able to defeat Donald over the 15 round limit. So it's not a case of comparing the two Curry's. It's just the maturation of Benitez' skills.

    At which weight? At Middleweight Jones' speed & boxing ability would be too much for Fitz. But LightHeavy and beyond, Fitzsimmons natural size & weight advantage would wear on Jones. Jones would be slightly slower in hand speed and foot speed. the key ingrediants that would carry him to victory over Fitz at Middleweight.

    Samuel Peter .Vs. Earnie Shavers

    Shavers by blistering KO. Too much power for the Nigerian Nightmare.

    Terry Norris vs Fernando Vargas @ 154

    There is no way, not in your wildest dreams, that even a great and classy a fighter like Arguello "controls" Buchanan all the way, or even part of the way. Buchanan would have been way to fast and slick for Alexis, as well as being tough enough to take the rough stuff of Duran, and I'm sure he'd be able to take even less sustained punishment from Arguello. Buchanan by a close 15 round decision. Boxers bothered Arguello, and a tough, gritty boxer like the Sctsman would have the edge.

    Norris is too fast & hit too hard for Fernando to deal with. Vargas would be out on his feet before he can unload his own bombs. Norris 3rd Round TKO.

    Thomas Hearns-Joe Calzaghe at 168.

    hearns too big and powerful for the game welsh man who would walk forward and try to get inside his jab and would be picked off. would start coming back in the middle rounds and probably stopped in the late rounds with a hearns right hand

    pep vs marco antonio berrara at feather

    As I remember though punchers bothered Buchanan a lot and Arguello was a hard puncher.

    Chuvalo bloodies him up. The fight gets stopped on cuts in round 9 or 10. If it went the full 15 I think Chuvalo still wins due to superior stamina.

    I'll never forget Foster's one punch KO of Mike Quarry. Quarry hit the canvas face down and stayed there. I think Foster beats Charles, but Moore beats them both. Moore was just TOO hard to beat.

    Dempsey beats Liston with merciless body punching. Liston didn't have to defend against animals like Dempsey.

    If Dempsey let Frazier hit him the way he let Firpo hit him he'd be gone. On the other hand Foreman brought Frazier's chin into doubt.... This one is a donnybrook. Probably Dempsey stops Frazier TK4.

    Holyfield by majority decision. Rough fight, but Holyfield remains disciplined and manages to avoid the "jinx".
