    Minter easy, just like the Antuofermo fights.

    I dont rate Minter more than just a good MW either.

    Basilio was a much better fighter than Vito.

    it would be a good fight but i do feel Minter is abit bigger possibly more skilled but Carmen was 1 tough ******* and wouldnt back down he once threatened to punch the referee when he stopped him agaisnt Fullmer. I think Minters skills win him it

    Carmen wins this one. He is too tough for Minter. Vito didn't lose the first fight by much and Carmen Basilio was a class above Antuofermo.

    Basilio is a few classes about both fighters imo.
    A ATG imo. I belive Carman wins this.

    I hate this as I like both guys...I would lean towards Basilio wining a close decison...but this would be a very competitive fight!

    Carmen Basilio is no doubt an all-time great.

    I pick him to win - on cuts.

    Basilio would hold his own with Hagler and beat Minter in a rugged brawl

    I thought Minter won the first fight comfortably .But I go with Carmen ,he had something Antuofermo, lacked a punch ,plus he was slightly better defensively.

    I agree with this and while we're on the subject I've never understood the controversy over the Minter-Vito fight. It's close but with a clear winner to me (I think Dakin's scorecard created most of the arguments).
