    There's no way for a brawler to beat Tiger by my eye, but it would be outstanding as long as it lasted.

    I would doubt that to be honest. Tiger didn't hit as hard as Gerald, for example, and probably not as hard as Eubank. There may be parity there. I do think Tiger would find Benn more than either men and probably break him up in 8 or 9.

    Joe Louis vs. Joe Frazier

    Most will pick Louis but I'd put my money on Frazier and get the upset payout.

    Dempsey v Marciano would have been a barn burner.
