    I'm going with Big Jim.

    Sander's chin was shaky and he lacked stamina to the highest degree... He had a punch that could have hurt James as much as anyone, and his fast hands might enable him to take the first few rounds on the cards.. But at the end of the day, I think Bonecrusher wins and probably in similar fashion to the Bruno fight.

    I have no doubt that Bonecrusher would have kod Sanders. HE had a good chin and only Ruddock was able to put him out. Bonecrusher Ko 6 over the not so durable Sanders.

    I agree with the previous posters in that Sanders would have early success but would enivitably gas out and get planted.

    Bonecrusher KO 6 Sanders

    Smith could pull off a late knockout provided he can survive the early storm and he usually did in his prime as proven by his fights against Tyson, Bruno. If it went to a decision, Sanders would likely win, but I do doubt that kind of an outcome in a match-up such as this. I'm taking Smith to last beyond three or four rounds to stop an exhausted and battered Sanders.

    Very interesting.
    Smith is exactly the sort of guy who could outlast guys, he had a good chin, stamina and power, Sanders, if he couldn’t get guys out of there, would gas and Smith was durable and most likely would get out of the first half of the fight, he stops him late most of the time.
