    Hi Devon.
    Very intriguing, BB is one of my all time favs, and I admire Tiger immensely, not entirely sure of the outcome, I mean Tiger easily handled Carter, so big punchers are not a threat, maybe Tiger by close decision.
    Mike.

    I think Tiger pretty handily wins a decision here.

    Bennie doesn’t have a ton of top-tier wins on his resume. Mundine, Chiaverini and some Philly guys, but when he stepped it up he was usually on the losing end.

    Tiger is a bridge too far.

    This would be a fun fight but I have to lean towards Tiger. Bennie was a handful for so many great middleweights like Hagler, Monzon, Griffin etc, but he always came up short. Tiger had years of getting the short end of decisions but ultimately was able to beat hall of famers like Fullmer, Giardello and Torres.

    Briscoe's come forward style plays right into Tiger's advantage. Tiger should win this clearly in a terrific slugfest.
