    Hagler and Monzon's toughest respective foes, arguably.

    Awesome fight; not sure who'd win.... A win for both is very doable here.....
    :yep:huh
    Roldan is crude, but strong as a bull... Briscoe was a hard puncher with decent skills....
    :bbb
    A 10 round draw that has both men battered and disputing the decision...:deal

    MR.BILL:hat

    Baad Bennie went down Argentine way, beat the sheezit outta Carlos Monzon, got robbed with a draw. Beat the sheezit outta Eddie Gregory that Gregory will endorse to this day.
    Roldan can’t stay with this cat believe me!

    Bad Benny was one of my favorites but Roldan was a tough strong guy....this would be a war...I like Briscoe in a tough battle

    prime for prime I'm going with the man that gots the better defense and that means Roldan. Thunderous hitter too. a knockout is possible

    Roldan for me in this match-up.. Thomas Hearns said after his fight with Roldan. "Roldan is the roughest toughest guy i ever fought and that includes Hagler & Leonard".

    Briscoe would win this...he's ultimately better all around than Roldan, and would grind him down and stop him by the 10th round, maybe sooner.

    Briscoe stops Roldan in a thriller with Juan slightly ahead of Bennie.

    Agree with those who pick Briscoe to grind him down. Roldan would find some success early but would get very discouraged as Bad Bennie just keeps marching towards him...Briscoe forces him back and TKO's Roldan in 6.

    Roldan would get more and more discouraged when that bald Sherman Tank would keep on coming in...laying it on him...and ultimately, Roldan didn't have the whiskers or the guts that Bad Bennie had..and would fold like I said, before the 10th..after absorbing a beating.

    I'd favor Bennie, but it would be a war.
